RE: I believe the ring allows the bolts to fit. NO

By hawkrod - 02/17/2002 6:57:29 PM; IP 198.81.16.164

i hate to ask this but no one else has, if the spacer is to get correct thread engagement, how come ford just didn't use the right length bolts? all flexplates were the same guage metal so the correct length would have been known. ford is a cheap company and does not use parts just because it is easier. they use parts because it is cheaper. they would have specified the right length bolts from the supplier if that was the problem. adding the spacer adds costs including the spacer, longer bolts (when you buy by the pound shorter bolts are cheaper), and extra assembly time. no i don't buy it. the spacer is a reinforcement due to issues or they would not have used one. no disrespect meant but thats the way i see it. hawkrod
