Rob,

I hate to recommend a crap company, but Oselli developed a solution for the 
use of this engine block for the now defunct Keith Brading Isle of Wight 
Frogeye Car company.  Maybe you could ask them?

 I don't know what the possibilities are regarding boring out the Spridget
 flywheel to take the larger(?) diameter crank flange.  The Spridget1275 has
 that taper on it to contend with too.  The possibility of using something
 else such as a ford/Toyota/datsun  flywheel and clutch might be worth
 considering. The big prob will be the odd looking spacing of the flywheel
 bolts.  There are six but the spacing is uneven.  Has anyone tried to get a
 custom flywheel made?  Steel, with six holes, a spigot and a clean edge to
 mount a starter ring on.  Can't be too hard, can it?  The bush for the
 gearbox shaft needs to be bored in as the one in the Maestro is too shallow
 ( about 3/4 inch.)
 
 Over to you! >>
