To all TR6/GT6 racers out there, I have used a QM 7 pound steel flywheel an=
d 7.25" clutch  pictured in the attachment for the past 25 years with no fa=
ilures. I have purchased 10 of these flywheels over that period, mostly due=
 to minimum order of  5 flywheels per order as these are custom just for th=
e Triumph six cylinder.  This is for the short butt/late model crankshaft o=
nly. It has the ring gear actually cut into the flywheel itself, which is m=
ade from a high alloy steel. Clutch disc run around $60 each, and they can =
do any center spline you want. As for release bearings I use a GT6 throw ou=
t bearing on my Jerico gearbox due to the smaller diameter as it fits the f=
ingers of the pressure plate perfectly. You can use the stock TR6 release b=
earing but the amount of force needed to disengage is really way to much fo=
r your leg! I also us the annular style release bearings and find that set =
up very easy to operate and maintain.

I do not need 5 flywheels, so I'm looking for at least 4 other Racers out i=
n FOT land that might want one of these flywheels. I already have one spot =
filled but the more the merrier. I have never had a failure with this set u=
p and the only thing I do different is order the flywheel with double dowel=
s, I  keep the standard 4 bolt 7/16" bolts. All I do is replace the disc ev=
ery 3 or 4 events, depending on how much paddock driving I have to do as th=
at is tougher on the disc than actual racing, especially after coming off t=
he track hot with a 1.70 first gear!

No hurry, Quarter Master is now shutdown  due to this pandemic, so this eff=
ort has plenty of time to get together. Last order I did the cost was aroun=
d $550 for each flywheel.  You can only use QM pressure plate with this fly=
wheel as Tilton pressure plates are different. If you are interested of hav=
e any questions let me know.
