Re: Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!
Reactor flexplates are Aluminum, I have had good luck for 10 years with them until
this past season and blew one in half @ 10k rpm. They should be changed very frequently. I went to a Meziere steel.

10,000 RPM shouldn't be a problem. :-)

Re: Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!
I've seen the results from one that came apart shortly after it had been recertified.
The allen bolts that retain the ring gear failed and the ring gear came apart at the butt weld slicing thru the headers and frame rails of a roadster like the were made of butter. Ive seen similar failures on steel wheels at the butt weld if it is not where an attaching weld is located ,but never with such devestating results. I would never use one on my cars.

Re: Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!
As light as my steel TCI flex plate is, I just don't see a measurable gain from an aluminum version.

Re: Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!
I had no idea that Coan sells the Reactor, i was dealing direct and i must say that even when i sent my stock flexplate back with the first Reactor that was wrong and it came back to me still wrong im really concerned about using it period. Trying to communicate with this guy and him telling me he is sorry he is not as perfect as me i just can't see how people stay in business with customer service like that.
I had plans to help this guy try and sell a few Alum Pontiac flexplates to some other Pontiac racers and now I'm going to discourage Pontiac racers from buying anything from this Bozzo !!! i

Re: Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!
Long story but I had a bad experience with them as well, cost me more time than money but I would not mess with them.
