ok..maybe if i get no joy in buying a flywheel,(no speed shops down under will give me a quote!) i will get one made...
so what material should the machine shop use and is it ok to have it made so that it fits ontop of the existing flexiplate,(but mounted via the crank bolts NOT the holes where the torque converter used to mount) so that i dont have to worry about the ring gear,(thus saving a bit of cash,) and prehaps allow me to increase the overall dia thus allowing me to fit a nice large clutch plate.. (yes it would need longer crank bolts)..it would also be more proud of the block, but that would be good as i will need an adapter plate to match it up to the landrover gearbox..
also whats the minimum thickness it would need to be to be safe..its going in a 4x4 so i really need a heavyish flywheel.
thanks
