Long time no see, I'm still alive!! New silly project.....

It is very reassuring having someone use the same drawing with success and also having the same issues as well.
I am having the starter ring issue and wondering why it was not addressed in the drawing. Easy fix anyway
That flywheel would have been very heavy.
Your solution is smart. did you have it balanced?
I had a race shop thin down the original drawing, ended up at 10.5kg

Yeah the weight of that original flywheel was one of the reasons I changed my mind, that and cost. The way I did it in the end was half the cost. I had the adapter hub and flywheel balanced as one unit.

 

[tchui]

do you remember what size flywheel bearing you ended up using? oe 4m41 unit seems to be too small in width and height...

 

[DreXeL]

I used the OE bearing because I used a modified solid 41M1 flywheel.

 

[tchui]

very good! do you have the SA drawing for the spigot bearing holder?

 

[DreXeL]

No, I could never get that drawing. I even emailed the company named in the thread and they weren't interested :/

Finally got it back from the exhaust place:

Looks to pick up speed quite well, much faster than before?

That's awesome. You win.

Yeah, definitely feels quicker. A lovely fat wide power band. I mean you wouldn't call it a sports car by any means, but it hustles it's weight around pretty well

Exhaust sounds lovely.

 

[Freefaller]

Sounds great!

 

[Confused]
