Thanks for the help in advance! I've been looking for one for around 3 weeks to no avail. Two people have gone MIA while talking to them about purchasing one. Now I'm wondering if I can get away with throwing a Ka24e or DE m/t dust plate on it. Does anyone know if this will work? Will I need to modify it? I'm in the last stages of my swap and I'm really foaming at the mouth wanting to get this damn thing running.


Thanks,

Sky.

Those things are engine specific. MAYBE a FWD one would fit, but good luck finding one. Those aren't easy to come by.

I may have an extra one, but indeed those aren't normal parts and no one really parts with them. Premium coin for a premium and rare part. I'll check the garage in the a.m. for you, if you haven't found one by then.

Thanks that would be a big help! I'm just thinking about cutting something up to throw on there so my flywheel isn't open to the air.

:nono: Not smart! This is how you guys get into trouble. That plate you refer is not just a dust plate, but also a shim and guide for the starter as well. Just do it right or you'll get so frustrated and sell yours like so many other hard-heads before you have :tisk: .

Alright pullapart has a pulsar, not sure if it's the ca18de version but I'm going to check. Any news on the plate?
