I'm less than 10 minutes from junction 3 of the A14. The 2500S engine is in my GT6 with the lighter GT6 flywheel, so I will never need the original. I can dig it out and check the condition if you're interested. Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Clark Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi Mathew, I will check my flywheel this afternoon and post pics of each side. From memory, it's in usable condition though there may be some wear on the ring gear. It certainly should be 'bolt straight on', as it came from a 2500S with an MM engine number.

Nigel Clark Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Good news I think! My 2500S flywheel is in decent condition. No visible cracks, ring gear looks almost unworn with 117 teeth. The clutch face has light surface corrosion, and would benefit from cleaning up with sandpaper. If you're being fussy, for a car you're planning to keep long term, it might be worth getting the face lightly skimmed, but not essential. I've also got a serviceable Borg & Beck clutch cover you can have if you need it. Just let me know and we can arrange collection via PM.

Pete Lewis Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 if someone can explain how you bolt a 4 hole drive plat to a 6 hole flywheel i wont feel failed rimmers pic shows similar drive plate 35 /65 i want a 6 hole to shut it up its all as we said a bit ODD it looks original but doesnt add up the engine suffix is A and might explain the missing spigot brg, autos dont have one time for bed said Zebedee maybe Dylan has the clues or Ermentrude Ha pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Now a question, i have access to a lathe. Do i sacrifice an end of a crankshaft so i can mount the flywheel safely or spend time making something that i could bolt it too? If i do , i have 2 mk4 and 2 1500 engines. Which one? The mk fours are possible runners, the 1500s will need work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete It looks like i could bolt the flywheel to the end of a spitfire crank . I could cut the end of the crank and mount that in the lathe to face it off. Too extreme?

Pete Lewis Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 does it need facing or cleaning up turning a large diameter flywheel in a lathe will take some work or you just machine some runout a good buzz over with an orbital would be more sensible .youre not looking for shiney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I dont understand what you are hoping to achieve seems we are at crossed purpose but nigels flywheel looks fine and only needs a clean up not machining Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
