Mark,
Do the bolt points of both flexplates nest together without any space between both
flexplates or will spacers be needed when bolting together ??............Could not tell
from the photo.................

All,
Attached is a picture of my proposed solution to the cracking flexplates. I used my old 13B flexplate, removed the ring gear, and nested it inside the 20B/RX-8 flexplate. It could be held together by bolting or by welding around the outer perimeter, similar to how the ring gear is attached, although welding may cause warping. If bolted, there would be ten bolts holding the two flexplates together. I favor the bolting method as the four bolts holding the aluminum adapter will be a bit tricky to install and bolting would make it a bit easier to assemble.
