I bought a midplate for my small block and it didn't come with the spacer for the flexplate. Any ideas on where to get one? Or any of you guys got an extra one lying around? My midplate is .085" thick. Thanks

Shouldnt need any spacers for that thickness...
I run a .090 plate and nothing... you dont need a
longer nose on the conv either

Thanks Mr. P Body. Now I can put that in. That's what I like about this site, a lot of knowledge and people that are quick to help.

Is your cut just inside of the bell housing(big hole
for the back of the block) I was looking for a pic
of mine and all I have is this... it doesnt show the
back of the block

Mine is cut to be sandwiched between the block and bellhousing. When I got my last midplate, same thickness, from these guys it had a spacer so that's why I was wondering.

Yeah mine is the same(sandwiched between the block
and trans... but if the back hole is cut to just clear
the crank flange then you need the spacer but if its
cut just inside the trans mounting bolts(large hole
to clear the flex plate and conv you dont need anything)

Ok I see what you are saying, yes it has the big hole in the back. Thanks again, Clint
