<VV> Washer Ring - is it used on Flex Plate?

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Jay,

The shorter bolts are required because there's no ring on a PG.  Just to double check, in the 1961 shop manual page 6-11 is a photo of the installed flex plate that clearly does not have a ring under the bolts.  Good luck with the rebuild!
