My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

[Gregski]

after one too many sleepless nights The Greg made some significant progress on Rev. 2.0 of our input shaft mechanism, using this handy LDR 311 F-112 Galvanized Floor Flange, 1-1/2-Inch, complements of our friends in Vietnam, or as I like to call it the Lexus GS450h transmission plate two big of a hole reducer thingie

here it is as found in our local Ace Hardware store plumbing section

just think clutch pressure plate alignment tool


this gets us in the ballpark but it's not a snug fit, we can do better...

[Gregski]

alright, I aint gonna lie to you, it's not a snug fit... yet ! but we got a solution for that

Is the "Lexus GS450h transmission plate two big of a hole reducer thingie" being used as an alignment tool so you can re-drill those mounting holes?

that is correct, but it also required this additional mini adapter aka "rubber band set"

Gotcha.

[Gregski]

did I mention I was tickled pink when I discovered OUR custom transmission crossmember was going to clear all North, South, East, and West boltuators

and then it was S&K Steel Time aka SKST

so this is the kind of remnants they have, and at first I thought this frisbie disc would work but turns out it was not sliced straight

so then I spied this 1/2" thick by 10" wide and about 30" long plate which I had cut into two squares for a crisp Ulysses S. Grant !
