Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: flex plate
I guess every Ross drive is unique, but mine was a custom ALU
plate with the starter ring gear crimped on. The ALU plate bolted onto the
counter weight. The clutch/dampener with the splice bolted onto the ALU plate
with 8 or 10 allan 8mm screws/bolts and 1/2" (?) ALU spacers.
So
all you need is the standard counter weight. I believe the hole pattern in the
counter weight is the same for auto and manual.

OK....I am going to openly display my ignorance
here....I had my Ross PSRU off only one time, when I had the thrust bearing
mod done. I simply reinstalled it opposite of how I took it off. That
was some time ago, and I can't recall what it looked like where it mated to
the flywheel. Did the Ross also use an auto flex plate? I
remember the shaft was splined. That's about all I recall. I am asking
this, because I have purchased a set of street ported 4-port plates to which
I will add a set of NA rotors and housings to build up a complete engine so
I will lessen my "downtime" by hopefully swapping engines on a weekend. I
would like to have this new engine ready to bolt on and run. I'm
assuming that the stock, cast iron flywheel I have if from
a standard transmission RX7. Are the automatic and standard flywheels
different, or do you just add an automatic transmission flex plate to the
cast iron flywheel I already have? Just when I thought I had
everything figured out, I start reading new posts about flex
plates....
Thanks in advance for
any and all replies/suggestions. Paul, what the heck is a flexplate,
