where do I get straps or what metal would be best to make some? tt didn't have any suggestion on strap kits, but i can understand their position since they would rather sell a pressure plate than bolts/straps. their plate has more clamping pressure than stock in order to hold the 250+ hp that was mentioned to me. I will need more torque handling capacity than the stock setup offers so extra straps bolted on will probably not be something I decide on long term, but I may give it a shot. The extra straps just help the pressure plate stay together from what I can tell.
