when you use a mid plate you get a spacer for the flex plate. Do you still use the stock bolts or do you get longer ones?? I looked on arp and i could only find stock length..
Thanks

Does your plate have a starter mount? Or will the starter still mount to the trans? All the setups I've seen mount the starter to the engine side of the plate to keep the flexplate and starter lined up and just use a longer converter pilot and longer converter mounting pads.

I recently saw an older JW Wheel that had the flywheel spacer described. It is not like the current Wheel and most common flexplates that use the ARP 200-2902 bolt (.680 long).
You can measure your application and either use the ARP 200-2906 (.725 long) .....OR the ARP 200-2802 for stick application which is 1.00 long. Just check for clearance for the bolt to rear of block and main cap....
I hope this helps.
