You guys might find this interesting:
While I have been talking with Hughes today about possibly shipping the TC back to them, I also put in a call to B&M (Holley Group) to ask them a few questions about the flatness of the Flex Plate etc. While I do not have plans of doing this, here is what I was told:
"There is not a set tolerance on flexplates. It can vary from 1/8” up to ¼” when they are setting flat and not bolted to anything. Bolting to a converter and crankshaft is what straightens them up"
NOT part of my plan, but interesting enough to share.
