sportsroof69 said:I dropped a flexplate on the tip of my left middle finger from 2 feet. The bone is cracked, I have a 1/2" gash, a smaller hole, and I bled under my fingernail. I drilled a 1/16" hole in my nail to relieve the pressure. I also had to get stitches to close the gash. The local didn't take effect, so I felt every stitch. Keep track of your body parts when working with gravity and heavy objects. You have to be tough if you're gonna be stupid.

65ShelbyClone said:Well, maybe you should conduct a test. Entirely at your own risk, hold a flexplate with the bottom a measured 24" off a hard surface and drop it ring-gear edge directly on the end of one of your fingers. Consider it an experiment for the good of Stangnet.
65fastback2+2 said:hahaha i concur......skywalker are you possible thinking of something other than the flexplate? cuz it weighs alot to for just being a disc....heres a picture of one that looks like mine that tried to take my finger off
