Dave,

   Not aware of a flexplate/flywheel replacement made specifically for use
with
Tracy's redrive but Dave Leonard (Turbo/13B-RV6) adapted an aluminum racing
manual transmission flywheel to his redrive after his flexplate developed
serious
cracks while qualifying to race at the Reno National Air-Races several
years ago.

  Perhaps Dave will jump in here with how he did it.......I know there are
a series
of E mails in the archives with photos of how he did it....As far as I know
he still
is flying with this flywheel........FWIW
