Wtd: lathe & tapping work
Anyone with a big lathe looking for a few non-alcoholic beer tokens? or know where I can get it done locost? East midlands preferably
I'm trying to mate up an auto box to an engine. I need to use the torque converter from the auto box which will mean accurately centering the
flex plate (from an autobox that originally mated up to the engine) and drilling and tapping the torque converter so the flex plate can bolt on. The
stub on the torque converter that slots into the crank needs turning.
Flexplate held roughly in place. I could weld up the existing 3 holes on the flexplate or maybe 2 new holes drilled and tapped either side of it? Then
the excess needs to be trimmed off.
Torque converter stub. It's 18mm then steps up to 19mm. I need it to be 18mm for the whole length.

My thoughts
1. Weld up existing holes on outside of flex plate
2. Bore two more holes on each leg for fastening to the torgue converter
3. Make a hub up which the flex plate could be bolted to and would locate on the spigot to centralise.
4. With flex plate centralised bore the mounting holes through into the torque converter, also bore 3x smaller dowel holes to maintain position after
hub fremoved
5. Remove excess from outside of flex plate
6. Reduce spigot size
7. Fit dowels to converter
8. Assemble everything.
Questions:
What is the OD of the convertor?
What is the depth from the the flywheel face to the gearbox side?
Cheers

Hi Davie, thanks for info in your first post. The flexplate is bolted onto the crank along with an auto flywheel:
