FAQ

Why choose a 12-bolt flexplate?

A 12-bolt flexplate increases the clamping surface for the torque converter, significantly reducing the chance of bolt slip or shear under high torque conditions compared to a standard 6-bolt design.

Is this flexplate SFI approved?

Yes — this flexplate meets SFI 29.3 approval, indicating it is suitable for high-performance and racing environments.

Can I use my existing torque converter?

This flexplate is designed to work with BD Diesel HI5 12-bolt torque converters to utilize all 12 holes, but it also accepts standard 6-bolt converters if needed.
