Default Reactor Flexplate Beware of this manufacturer !!!!

Idk of how many times I've had to post of manufacturing companies that run a business this bad but i hope to just inform some before they make the same mistake i did. It was supposed to be a simple purchase of a basic Pontiac flexplate . It has now turned into a 4 month return of the product 4 times just to get the correct bolt pattern and hole size from a guy who apparently thinks I'm to perfect to ask for this to be right .
Please save yourself from dealing with this Olen character that runs this F up operation.

The best place to get the correct Reactor flexplate is from Coan racing transmissions.

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.

I believe you got your money's worth using it for 10 years @ 10K RPM!

Ed, like Rich said, they are Aluminum.
Being they are Aluminum, they also help in the dampening of frequencies htroughout the RPM range. They work the best on high RPM engines such as 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

Nevertheless, although a great product, the company has its issues with delivery and also their customer service is not the best. Therefore the reason why I recommend procuring the flexplate from Coan since most of the times he has them in stock.

Don't think that would be a problem with a Pontiac.

I should help dampen the frequencies of that heavy, big stroke crankshaft.
