Does this conversion retain the BN1/2's mechanical clutch?

I have a DW lightened flywheel as well as an hydraulically activated BJ8
diaphragm clutch on my BN1.  It is a great setup and the clutch's operation
is extremely smooth and light.  However, all of this lives within a
Smitty's bell housing so I cannot speak to if and how this would function
within a stock housing.  BTW I modified an early six-cylinder Moss
fiberglass transmission tunnel that mates with the original fixed rear
tunnel section and fabricated a new bulkhead piece.

Yes  you can install a light flywheel or a 6 cylinder flywheel in BN1 =
with a 3 speed. But you CAN NOT use the later 6 cylinder style clutch =
cover.  The cover will hit the bell housing and stop the engine from =
turning. =E2=80=98

The best answer is to use the 3 speed cover on the light flywheel.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Lightweight Flywheel

I have a DW lightened flywheel as well as an hydraulically activated BJ8 =
diaphragm clutch on my BN1.  It is a great setup and the clutch's =
operation is extremely smooth and light.  However, all of this lives =
within a Smitty's bell housing so I cannot speak to if and how this =
would function within a stock housing.  BTW I modified an early =
six-cylinder Moss fiberglass transmission tunnel that mates with the =
original fixed rear tunnel section and fabricated a new bulkhead piece.

    Regarding lightening flywheels on a BN2, the best  solutions I've =
heard of comes from Bruce Phillips at "Healey Surgeons" in Maryland, and =
is something he did on his BN2 decades ago with great success.  =
Substitute the stock 100 flywheel for one from a BJ8... This =
accomplishes several things, first, it greatly reduces the weight =
without having to compromise an original flywheel (plus it's an original =
Austin Healey part), and secondly allows the use of the superior BJ8 =
diaphragm clutch.  Bruce and others who've tried this swear by the =
conversion.  =20

    Supposedly, it does not work too well with a BN1 transmission since =
according to Bruce, the setup requires that the BN1 transmission bell =

      I had my flywheel lightened by a local machine shop.  It was done =
in conjunction with an engine rebuild to M spec, so it was hard to =
evaluate the effect on performance.  However I can say there were no =

&gt; complete one--the one done at the Healey shop--includes higher<br>
&gt; compression pistons, a more aggressive cam, some suspension tweaks<br>
&gt; (stiffer shocks, maybe a larger anti-sway bar), a different distributo=
r<br>
&gt; and, of course, the louvred bonnet.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Someone wrote up a list of mods that could be done--even better cam<br=
&gt; profile, for example--that could be done to a &#39;stock&#39; BN1/2 to=
 achieve<br>
&gt; performance superior to a M, while keeping the original &#39;flavor&#3=
9; of the car.<br>
