I have a dead flywheel. Extremely worn and done for. Anyone have any ideas of 'tools' or such that I can use this for?

If you had four of them, they could be made to be hold down for EzyUp corners.

Gold plate it and make a belt buckle out of it.

or

Send it to a well known vendor. They will list it as a "racing option".

You'd have to remove some teeth for weight savings. I think the other one I saw listed had every other one removed.

You could just use it as a really dangerous frisbee.

Long range target.
We hang tractor cogs out at 200+ yards at the machine gun shoot. The same 2 cogs have lasted for years, but they are pretty pock marked now.

If you have a lathe you could cut out the center of it so you could use it for converting a 3.0 six flywheel to a push type clutch for 914 conversions.
