Well, I might be making things a little more difficult with my request. I
need a long tail crankshaft and the flywheels are readily available from
several sources and several configurations. If anyone needs a stock
flywheel for a long butt crankshaft as used in the TR5 and 69 TR6, I have a
couple I could part with. I believe the GT6 used the long butt crankshaft
also.
As for bearings, I use the stock style bearings and for flywheel mounting, I
can go either 4 bolt with 4 dowels or 8 bolts I guess. I'd like to have the
mains cross drilled as well.
With this being said, I'd go for 2 if we can get the price around $2000 or
less.
Does this help anyone with getting an order together?
