I didn't format the pictures properly to post them here, but here's a link to check out.

The first pic is a "normal" flywheel and the 2nd is what I found when I separated my trans from my engine. I knew it was lightened, but holy sh#@!

The other pics are me trying to decide whether to go with a low front hoop or a high front hoop. Due to visibility, I'm going with a high front hoop cage.

The first 914 I had I built a 2056 and had the flywheel lightened to 11 pounds. It was running 45 Dells with a Web 86B cam and lifters, It revved so quick that the front fan and hub spun right off the crank several times till it finally ruined the crank. I guess that is why Rimco wont go less than 14 pounds now. You cant lighten the fan.
