Hi friends.
   I'm looking for an aluminum flywheel for next years GT6. I have found
the Fidanza's but know notta about them. Can anyone make a recommendation
or a review?
  Also, going back about thirty years I seam to recall that a good mod for
a TR or GT6 engine was to slightly decrease the radius in the corners of
the rod journals on the crank and use the wider MGB bearings.  Is that
still what's being done?
                         Thanks. P.J.

I have a Fidanza on my TR4 - excellent flywheel.  The steel friction surface is easy to replace if needed.  

For engine mods, read Kas' book about Chuck Gee's car - good info.

I've had good luck with the Fidenza. There are some knock off's out there so
get a Fidanza brand or you risk not getting a replacement friction surface.
Guess how I know that ? I'm still pissed about that one.
