Does anyone have any info on a Haisley welded flex plate insert? I saw it on Goerend site. Just wondering how much abuse it will take?

 

Nobody has one of these? Huh.

 

Dave said to me that they are just two stock flex plates welded together. If I was to do one it would be a Billet one thats SFI approved and not worry about it. They can be had for about $450 ish....

 

A welded flexplate can hold pretty big power. Used to do it back in the day with our old street cars.

However, they are rarely flat after welding. Runout is a dimension I care about now later in life and I could not figure out why I kept losing thrust bearings in the engine even with anti ballooning converters. It was the flexplates.

Billet is a great option and they are flat!

Good point on bearings Fishin. If they are not balanced properly the welded plates will eat bearings in bottom end.

 

I've run a welded and one piece billet flex plate. Both held up to the abuse. I just think that the billet one piece flex plate is stronger.
