Anyone got an old one sitting around? don't care if it's stuffed.
Mainly want the starter ring & the flex plate to get the hole pattern for the crankshaft.

It's a pretty standard Mitsi 7 bolt pattern. I've got a spare engine here I can get dimensions off if you want.

Could I come round sometime to get some measurements myself?
There's a few other measurements I need for my application.

I'm trying to get a custom flywheel made up & have the flex plate helps with getting that crank pattern correct (I have got a scanned image of the small "plate" that fits where the bolts go through the flywheel, but nothing's better than something physical ;) ).
Plus I want the starter ring to fit onto the flywheel.

Sure. Where abouts are you based? You know you can buy lightened flywheels?

I'm in Western Sydney.
Factory flywheel is no good to me as I'm not using FTO gearbox

Change of plans as I'm aiming to using a 6A13TT engine but still with FTO gearbox. As the clutches activate differently, I need to use an FTO flywheel.

suggestions where I can get one?
