Aluminum Flywheel's

[MJTru]

Hi Mate

I just got a clutch master twin plate 850 series twin plate clutch for my rb build, but after reading the manual i noticed that i need a torque plate when using a aluminum flywheel, because the bolts can cut into the flywheel when i'm tighten them or worst come loose. Does anyone know why the kit doesnt come with this plate??? do i need it still????

Were can i get one from.???

thanks in avance

if the manaul says you need it i would get it. try any brake and clutch place they should be able to help

Would it be the big washer that goes under the crank bolts on an auto flexplate? If so one off a vl should be fine and cheap.

Your kidding right?

no i'm not, we dont have those over here. I googled it and saw an ugly car that comes with a inline 6. Is that it.???????lol

I was thinking, can i use some steel washers on the bolts insted of the whole ring.??? The washers should protect the aluminum flywheel when i start tightening it.

I acn also test fit the flywheel to the crank before i start to build the motor to make shore that the bolts of just right, length and all. what do you guys think????

ok i contacted clutch master today, and they said that i can go ahead and install it with out a torque plate, with i dont agree with, they also said that they are in the process of making a torque plate for this application.

I was wondering if the washer idea would work. 2-3 weeks for the torque to be made a mail to me. Well i have made up my mind to wait for it I will not install it with out a torque plate. If i didn't need it they wouldn't be making it. thats what i'm thinking.
