Subject: [Healeys] lightened flywheel
List,=20
Many years ago I purchased a lightened flywheel from Bolt On Healeys. I =
never installed it, but now I think I'm going to. The flywheel I bought =
was for an early 3000. Now I'd like to put a later clutch instead of the =
3 finger style clutch. Can I modify the older flywheel to be able to use =
the later style diaphragm pressure plate? I think I should be able to =
thread bolts into the existing bolt holes then have the head machined =
flush. Then have new bolt holes drilled and tapped. Has anyone done =
this, or I would appreciate any suggestions.
Or if Bill Bolton is still out there and offering lightened flywheels =
that will take the 9 1/2" pressure plate, I might do that. I haven't =
been able to locate him on line.
Thanks,=20
