Was that a total price ?

I just bought an Exedy uprated clutch and flywheel and David charged me £150 for the flywheel

Actually,just looked at the prices. David gave me a bit of a deal for buying the clutch and flywheel together so I didn't pay £150 for it !!

They are the standard flywheel but are machined down.

Yeh,David said they suit a road car better. A flywheel weighing only 4.5kg is apparently too light for a road car.
