Is this flex plate okay to use?

[bighammer]

I bought this a while back, but upon inspection, it appears to have a little wear; I don't know if I should be concerned or not. This should be a balanced flex plate for an exterior balanced 360 to bolt up to my 904 tranny. Is the wear a problem?

I wouldn't use it. Looks like it was run awhile with loose converter bolts. The mount holes are not round anymore.

Looks a bit rough, last thing you would want to do is replace it once its in there...

... That's just what I thought. Not cool when you buy parts here and the seller doesn't show or describe the damage.:wack:

It has been a while since I bought one of them but from recollection they are not terribly expensive.

Good point. Those flexplates have two sets of holes, depending on which size of bolt your converter needs you may be OK.

Get a new one.

look at your convertor bolts, if they are 5/16 you are good to go. Most aftermarket convtertors use the 7/16 size and yours is wallowed.
