We took 6 lbs off my ( 28lbs I think) 73 flywheel. Hopefully someone will
point you to a picture that shows the correct 'dishing' shape when you
lighten. It must be balanced. First machine shop said 'we took material off
uniformly so it should be fine'. My spyder sense tingled, so a different
shop got the flywheel and actually balanced it. It needed it. 2nd shop was a
driveline specialist, while the 1st shop was an engine rebuilder.
Do it
again?, for $300 I could pick up a brand new bolt on aluminum flywheel. No
machine shop cost or uncertainties, no new ring gear cost. No worries about
machining an older hunk of metal. Are there downsides here? too light
for everyday driving?
Thanks, Bruce Simms
