Every picture I see of them a= ppears to show an almost flat disk which would imply that there is MORE room= between it and the redrive adapter plate than there is for the flex plate w= hich has about a 1 1/4" dish in it. BUT, much of the discussion seems to i= mply that if anything, there is LESS. =20 Anyone able to tell me the actual thickness of these aftermarket lightweight= flywheels? I'm looking at the aluminum versions for weight reasons and also because the= iron friction surface is removable ( for even less weight). =20 Tracy Sent from my iPad
