I the the idea of the RX8 plate being thicker may be a mis-nomer.  Someone
reported the 13B plate as 0.065, but I measure mine at 0.08.  That is about
the same reported thickness as theRX8 plate.

That being said, the renisis plate is shaped better (more conical), and does
not have the nasty lightning holes that exist in the 13B plate, so it would
still clearly be an improvement.  If Tracy changed his damper plate a
little, it would be the easiest, lightest, and generally cheapest fix.
Given that the 13B plate has held up for a lot of hours in a lot of
aircraft, it may very well be sufficient.

I am looking forward to a little more weight on the flywheel.  I am hoping
that it will further smooth out my idle.
