What do the bolts screw into? Rivnuts? A backing plate?
The bolts screw directly into the existing holes on the automatic transmission flex plate. (which I used to think was a flywheel, until several helpful members of the Fly Rotary list helped to educate me). Paul Conner
I've read this several times, and still not quite sure I can believe it. The flex plate I have is thin. In the .040" range thin. I realize that it will all be shear forces, but can 9 threaded holes be expected to take the 800ft/lb of reaction forces that a typical NA engine is expected to put out?
(I believe I got the 800ft/lb number out of the discussion of the Schwertz beam motor mount on PL website). Just doesn't seem like it could hold up.
