I use a fidanza aluminum flywheel with steel friction insert in my TR3
(TR4A type). No problem with fitment and performance. The complaint I do
have with the company is the illustrations they use for the item online are
not accurate. Two specific things are the starter ring is shown and stated
as coming with the piece but it does not. The second item is the number of
holes for crankshaft mounting is the stock number (4) and not the
additional holes shown in the illustation. This is false advertising in my
book. What you see is not what you get.
