They don't adapt anything - the holes match without them.

So why are these spacer plates usually made with a cut-out for the flex plate or flywheel smaller diameter than the flex plate! Serious question - as if there isn't a rational answer, then they obviously just did it this way to be an utter PITA.

Just a couple of bolts holding it on and it isnt such a PITA to remove and replace if you have to
