Will you please prepare a disc type flywheel and clutch for this crankshaft, to EX.15816. Slight modifications are needed to the bore of the flywheel to suit the larger rear main bearing of the crankshaft, and also to the coupling of the driven member. We do not mind whether the flywheel is of steel or Milanite. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
