Has Anyone Tried A Billet Flywheel From Lynx/rich_W?

[SurGie 54]

Its all ok, iv just had confirmation that mine is the new type, few

[feb 47]

On a serious note, can you weigh it for me please?

 

Is it a 200mm one for a 8V or 215mm for Mi clutch?

[SurGie 54]

Its the GTI 6 - MI16 clutch type, 3.8 KG. I assume the 8v would be lighter

if you look on there site they do loads for the XU engine even for multi plate clutch's,

I was talking about the clutch plate face but it's more of a engineering shop measurement than anything else plus the old ones had horrid machining and hence why I had it redone, It lasted for about 12 months before giving up the ghost.

That's strange, I contacted them to ask a few questions and they quoted me £250 + VAT + postage for a flywheel.

 

When was that?

 

Their website says:

 

Please Note! We have not listed a contact phone number on our web site, this is deliberate as we only sell to the trade.

 

and the Peugeot flywheels page says:

It was a while ago I last spoke to them, maybe the exclusive contract has run out but they haven't updated their website. They might be up for a group buy now...

the old ones are flat (in my experiance), when my engine was build by sandy brown the crank+ flywheel were balanced and it didnt need anything removing atall!

have no problems now its in the car also.

So do engine builders balance the crank and flywheel together?

Interesting.

[rallyeash 155]

should be balanced as a unit

E-mail sent again.

 

Basically if we could organise a group buy I am interested.

 

I need a flywheel in the next 3 weeks or so.

Interested aswell

[feb 47]

I have e-mailed TTV with what discounts they could do for e.g. 3/5/10 people.

Will post back once I have a reply.

Seems we are at least 3 so far.

Whilst I'd be interested, I need one asap as the engine is out at the moment so a wait whilst a group buy discount would be nice the wait to build the car back up wouldn't be worth it.

@ Masekwm same here, I will post back as soon as I have an answer.

Even if only 3 people or so we could go ahead.

Still don't have a mail... Are you sending it via the forum?

 

I'm not looking for one anymore but it looks like there is a fair amount of interest so you should get a good deal.

Strange. Both via the forum and at the e-mail address in your profile.

 

Check your spam folder it might be in there.

I paid late last Thursday and on Monday a very light box arrived.

 

 

I fitted it to the engine which was simple enough but the supplied bolts didn't quite fit through the pressure plate so I had to file the holes slightly larger.

 

I hate fitting clutches! It really is the worst job on a car imo.

 

Good service from Rich and cheap at £240.

[SurGie 54]

I agree with the above, mine needs to be filed as well.

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

You cannot file them, Drill them out to the correct size, Come on lads
