I sure can’t see any.

Building a 2.0 from a 1.8 from a 914 for my 72 bus that came with a 1.7. Have both flywheels. I did not label either. The 914 was running when removed so it must be the shinier one. The bus sat in a field for 10 years. So much moisture under there that the magnesium bell housing deteriorated.

Anyway, both are 210 mm. Some vendors say their 914 FW won’t work on a bus and visa-versa.

Anyone have more details?

They aren't the same,the bus flywheel has a different ring gear offset incase someone hasn't mentioned it already.
I've never checked but I think the pressure plate position is different also from one to the other.
