Just got my OEM Lightened Flywheel back
What do you think??
As I haven't seen another OEM lightened flywheel just wanted to see if this is the correct way to machine it.
The company I used are an engine building company and I asked for them to lighten the flywheel to what they thought was safe.
I have weighed it on my bathroom scales and it registers about 7.5kgs
I did tell them to make the weight about 8kgs as I have heard this is a safe weight for the OEM.
Any thoughts

We aim for 7 Kg's. We like to leave a bit of meat on for another skim or so in the future, should it become necessary.
6.7 Kg's is the homologated weight for a GC8 flywheel, if I recall correctly.
It'll be fine - It looks OK, from those Hi Def pics you supplied.

PS how many threads do the clutch cover bolts go in by? We usually leave a thicker band in that area, so you get full penetration of the bolts. That looks like it might be a bit thin............

Have edited the pictures so they are a little larger. ;P
It cost me £50 to get it machined but I have known the guys for a while now.
It is not one of yours David but a local firm to me here in essex.
Will check on wednesday to see how much thread there is.
I was a little worried by the weight but you have just given me reassurance.
Thanks

yes but did you get it balanced?

Yes it was balanced.
There are 8 threads left in the flywheel for the clutch cover to attach to.
I will have it running again on the weekend so I will let you know how it is and any difference.
