You guys have a good point. Maybe all I need is an SFI flexplate. If I am the only one interested in the 31TH version, then imma back out. The development for a low demand item would certainly be a loss.

Overkill can't hurt in some cases if he is willing to make it big power guys should consider it. I didn't in any way want to discourage people from extra safety equipment.
Worse yet I didn't mean to drive people away from a product. I wasn't thinking about that when I posted... <oops>.

I thought I read somewhere that IF you have an A/M Tq convertor you needed one (transhield)?

2011 NHRA Rulebook General Regs
2:14 TRANSMISSION, Automatic/NHRA-Accepted
All cars running 10.99 (*6.99) seconds and quicker must have an
NHRA-accepted locking-type dipstick on the transmission.
Any non-OEM automatic floor-mounted automatic transmission
shifter must be equipped with a spring-loaded positive reverse
lockout device to prevent the shifter from accidentally being put into
reverse gear. Functional neutral safety switch mandatory. All
transmission lines must be metallic or high-pressure-type hose. All
vehicles running quicker than 10.99 seconds (*6.99) or faster than
135 mph (except some Stock and Super Stock classes as noted
under Class Requirements) and using an automatic transmission
must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI Spec 4.1
and labeled accordingly. (“Blanket”-type shield, appropriately
labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1, permitted.) All non-blanket-type
shields must incorporate two (or one, per manufacturer’s
instructions) 3/4 x 1/8-inch straps that bolt to the shield on each
side and pass under the transmission pan, or transmission pan
must be labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1. Permitted in all classes
where an automatic transmission is used.
Comp, Super Comp, Super Gas, 9.99 or quicker E.T. cars, and 135-
mph or faster E.T. cars using an automatic transmission, Lenco
Drive, or BRT must be equipped with a flexplate meeting SFI Spec
29.1 and covered by a flexplate shield meeting SFI Spec 30.1.
Transmission that can utilize a high-gear transbrake must be
supported by the use of two momentary buttons (one to arm the
system, second as the main transbrake). Air shifter bottles must be
stamped with DOT-1800 pound rating (minimum) and be securely
mounted (i.e., no tie wraps or hose clamps).

My bad, it was talking about A/M Converter Drives, Not A/M converters.

No offense at all taken if you do or don't want one for an auto. I was just feeling it out if I should make a 2nd model or not. It's not a HUGE deal....but I didn't want to go through the hassle of making a different model if no one wanted it.....

Thanks for digging up the rule Mike. Did you find any rules on construction, like the MTX rules where it said "if not commercially available make it this thick and that wide?" I'm guessing it has to be wider than the MTX one so it can collect up the whole TC? Sounds like a different part for sure... Maybe one of the quick auto guys already has a A413 design that they would be willing to do a group buy on?

I would think on an auto you would want the shield to also go over the front planetary. I know just about nothing about the autos on these cars but on the 727 it is the front drum (IIRC) that comes apart in certain circumstances and causes a bad day. That failure mode may not even be possible here because it has something to do with the sprag failing and causing the drum to spin at a much higher speed than designed and throwing itself apart. I think they have worked to decrease this issue over the years.
