A friend of mine that I use to race with has decided to hang up his racing helmet and sell off his parts. I picked up this flywheel he had made. It uses a 7.25" pressure plate and the whole assembly minus the disc weighs 10.5#. I will be removing the welded on piece when I balance it.

Blake,
That is a very rare piece you have there. I know of only three to exist and I made the first two. That clutch is probably the best of the three because Quartermaster made it on CNC equipment. The first was a prototype we tried in Dan Williams race car, it slipped. I goofed on some of the spacings. The second I made for the six cylinder I am currently running. I will post a picture of it later. It was made to use twin discs. This third clutch Dan contracted Quartermaster to build and as far as I know it has never been run. I can't remember if the flywheel was made of steel or aluminum. The first two where steel. I would advice you to check three things when you install it. First be sure the fingers are parallel to the flywheel when it is installed. If they are not then the spacing is off. Second check the ring gear to be sure the starter has room to disengage. I don't recall a problem with the single disc set up but the double was too close. Third you will have to build a spacer to go between your throw out bearing and the clutch plate. The stock bearing won't be able to reach the plate. Once that is set up the clutch should live forever inyour ITB car. You are going to love how it wakes that thing up. Let me know if you need any help with it. Neil Cawley |
