Fastlane shows the same part number for both front and rear flex discs.

Interesting catch on that, that Fastlane shows the same part number for both. If you look closely at the picture you posted regarding your own flex disc, it is actually the rear flex disc. Note the difference from the pictures in the earlier part of the thread. You show pictures of circular steel housing for the bolts, but in the actual pictures earlier in the thread the bolting house looks like a circle with winged edges.


Also, Steve M notes that epc shows the rear flex disc being able to be interchanged in lieu of the front one. Anyone else care to chime in with any facts regarding this? I will still get the correct ones, but Kestas was obvious driving for a while with the rear flex disc with no apparent ill effects other than the fact that the disc looks like it was mauled.
