I decided start another thread about the ZF Drive plate......
Kinda felt like I had hijacked Thumbs Up
At any rate attached are the pics of the drive plate that I intend to use to connect my Cummins engines to the ZF gears.

harry from your first post that had the describtion of the drive plate it sounded like a vucan drive.well a picture is worth a thousand words.that is not the ZF vucan drive. those rollars just shit and take the impact instead of the springs.a more expensive unit then the oem spring style torsion damper.the vucan drive is stricly high performace and can not break due to no moving parts.made of a steel plate the full size of the flywheel but no coventional clutch material instead uses a sythetic hard material to contact the flywheel.

I had seen the Centek drive adapters in several other applications and thought (and still do think) that they are the "Cats Ass"
Just holding them in your hand you can move the splined section and tell that they will absorb a good bit of shock.
My goal is to eleminate the idle speed "Clatter and Chatter"
Right now my MAIN GOAL is to get this sucker back in the water.......I'm really wanting to hear my Cummins roar and the Turbos SCREAM.....been "On the Hill" way to long! ! ! !

yes they are the cats ass.a much better approach then the spring style "drive plate" if that what you want to call it.i have heard those spring rattle at idle after 150hours .good luck and get that baby in the water!!
