Title: lightened flywheel advice?
Post by: travellinbob on June 05, 2006, 09:46:47 PM
Hi all I have a new flywheel that is the size and weight of a nats bum but it dont bolt up to the eccentric shaft. So I am thinking i will need a counter wheel from an automatic car? Is this right.? Been ages since I did this kind of thing.
 If this is right then does anyone have one for sale? :D
 cheers all, michael :Thumbs-up

Yes Michael you bolt up the counter weight to the E-shaft and the flywheel bolts to the counter weight. Counter weights come up on ebay from time to time or try one of the vendors.
