Calling you lazy was not my intention at all. If that is how I came off I apologize. If i had a brand new tc then no I wouldn't weld it either. I was just agreeing with jpar that there other alternatives other than just buying new parts. Very expensive parts. Like in my situation i have a perfectly good 318 (used) tc if i wanted to use it on my 360 it would be more efficient to just weld on the weights. But if your already buying a new tc then you might as well get the flex plate that goes with it. If I came off wrong im sorry i didnt mean no offense.
