Check with Hugh Pite. Also see Bob Grunau's drawing of the factory lightened flywheel. I also have a lightened EX176 flywheel that is a bit more radical, and could probably provide you with a drawing.

I'd be interested to learn of anyone who has used the B&G flywheel in a street car.

It seems like more of a racing object to me, with the associated problems that racing parts on a street engine will often cause: I would have thought there was not enough mass to keep the engine nicely going, off the line.

I'm a great believer in lightening flywheels - I do it to all the engines I build, but only up to a point.

Oops! one of my customers can not find his fly wheel,
how ever, he has a 7 1/4" clutch, not 8'

Len,

I have an 8" flywheel, clutch and pressure plate I'm looking to sell. If needed, feel free to put them in touch with me.

Tom,

I have the B+G fwindow lywheel pictured above and cortina clutch in my xpeg. I find it works just fine. The throttle response and spool up is fantastic and I have never stalled it on a start. What specific questions do you have?

Alex - thanks - you answered them!

Best, Tom
