Yes I know why they are breaking.

I dont want to weld onto my flexplate. I don't think welding the spacers in place will make any difference, as they are tight when installed.

I have never seen a torque converter that can be welded. You have to remember not all types of metal can be used in welding. It is the same way with my carb, it cannot be welded.

Anyways, I talked to my dad(who is my foreman), and our test bed can be set-up to test tensile strength after all. But thanks for all your input Pineapple.
