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#@! http://home.wideopenwest.com/~kgroot/ 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. |

QUOTE DUDE, that thing is scary! that can't be enough metal there to stay safe! that is where you want to remove the weight...the problem is not whether or not it's going to scatter at while at 5000 rpm, the issues are that they tend to break while trying to start the engine due the compression of the engine....a few options to make starting easier would be to have a valve that opened to reduce the compression while starting or you have an electronic device to change the timming so that the motor starts easier (an engine would start easier if fired @ 5° ATDC than 5° BTDC) |
