thanks Toasty, I sent them an email. the website doesn't have much in the way of information.
It's a brand new part. And that's IS Toasty, and IncorpoRatedX. Agree that a picture would be nice, but it's the same part that used to be on the vehicle, except made from real metal instead of plastic. Everything they've made so far is really tough stuff.
I'm getting ready for the homecoming of my '87 Raider. Since it still needs the proper flex plate, it hasn't been tested, but that day will come THIS YEAR! (Safe to say since it's only January 2nd). I was able to find a seller of the plate on Facebook, but he still has to pull and inspect it.
Since I'm swapping out that part, I ordered a new rear main seal set (Timken). I don't believe I changed that when I originally got the engine, so there's my silver lining. I'll tell myself it would have probably leaked if left unchanged.
Also ordered a new turbo mounting gasket set since I'm changing the downpipe and the $5 set is the only way to get that triangular gasket for the turbo-to-downpipe seal. I also ordered all five brake soft lines, a couple more Wix oil filters and a couple of front hub bearing seals.
I have a box full of LED exterior light bulbs for everything (including a compatible flasher unit) except the headlights. I'll wait on those for now ($360/pair from superbrightleds.com). I'm also planning to swap every interior bulb to LED's in the future. The aforementioned site has the little wedge base bulbs that fit in the holders in the idiot light cluster and instrument panel as well as every other control area. I already have a couple of different festoon light bulb selections for the dome light, one of them just stupid bright.
I'll install the stereo I used to have in my '86. It rocks.
