Folks,
As I don't think my foam for the rubber bushings will have a long life,
someone please let me know if these become available, so that I'll have
spares.
I also had the flywheel lightened. Using a drawing I got from Brian Kelly
(I think it originated from the MG factory. Basically it's 3/8 in thick,
with the perimeter thicker, it wheghs 18 lbs. As I remember Mike Allison
suggested I could also cut a groove around the perimeter for even less
weight. I think I've seen a drawing for that aslo. Bob Zwart did the
maching for me.
Thanks,
Jack
