I used that flywheel on my own small Journal 1296 with a 1500 clutch. It worked 
out fine once I chamfered the center hole. I was getting interference and 
rubbing before I did that. It wasn't obvious at first but about the 4th time I 
pulled the gearbox, the evidence marks showed up.

  I trashed my flywheel at the Glen last week. While I&#39;m probably going to 
go with a Tilton set up over the winter, I needed something in a hurry for a 
race in two weeks so I ordered an aluminium 1500 Fidenza flywheel from Ted S. 
I&#39;m going to use it with a 3 rail tranny, MK4, 10 spline 7 1/4, disk. The 
crankshaft is already drilled out to accept 7/16&#34; bolts.

   &#160;I bolted the parts together today and took some measurements, 
there&#39;s a ~ 0.037 difference in thickness, from the crankshaft surface to 
the fingers on the pressure plate between the old setup with a stock pressure 
plate and the new one which I&#39;m sure will not be a problem but are there 
any unknowns that I won&#39;t find out until I have everything bolted together 
and in the car? Stock MK1 Girling master and slave.

    I used a Fidenza flywheel way in the past, not this model, and I remember I 
had to take some material out where it bolts to the crank because I 
couldn&#39;t get enough clutch travel to fully disengage. Anyone using this 
setup now and have and tips or warnings? It&#39;s so much easier to make 
changes before it goes together.
