June 3, 20222 yr comment_641217 Fidanza's web site is pretty poor, the search engine doesn't find anything, but Google did. Here's an example of a replacement plate. Not sure if it's right for yours or not. Probably best to call them. https://www.fidanza.com/products/copy-of-flywheel-friction-kit-229501?variant=14995559841835 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?&page=12#findComment-641217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 3, 20222 yr comment_641218 There are several. They call it a "friction kit". Use that term. https://www.fidanza.com/pages/catalog-search-sd Edited June 3, 20222 yr by Zed Head Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/60341-resurrecting-a-1977-280z/?&page=12#findComment-641218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised if the bolts didn’t line up.

June 11, 20222 yr Author comment_641447 Heard back from fidanza. They have a replacement friction plate I can purchase. new engine mounts came in, one wasn’t a perfect fit so I can to do a mod. Now I need to fund beer, pizza, and friends to bring the engine over, assemble the transmission, and drop it in.

June 12, 20222 yr comment_641451 Did you order factory Nissan mounts. If not it’s a known issue that the aftermarket dowels don’t line up.

June 12, 20222 yr comment_641453 Those dowels will not line up. Save yourself some aggravation and order the factory mounts, . Fit like a glove. Other folks have shaved the dowels off. Your call.

June 12, 20222 yr Author comment_641454 I saw a spelling error in a previous post. I shaved it and installed it.

June 28, 20222 yr comment_641846 Engineering type nerd talk but I took a GDT course long ago and Fidanza's concept makes me nervous. Stacked error (wrong term, can't remember, probably stacked tolerances). Are you supposed to have that plate skimmed before usage or just bolt it up and go? Make sure that you understand well how it's supposed to be used. Even if Fidanza is confident it wouldn't hurt to have it checked.
