Well, I recently bought a used aluminum flywheel with the following
description:
Quote:
RX7 8.5Lb Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel
for FB or FC
For sale is a 8.5lb Aluminum Fidanza Flywheel for a RX7 Non
Turbo , its used and could use a new friction plate
fits 86-91 Non turbo RX7s might fit Fb 2nd
gen RX7s as well i'm not 100% sure
Unquote.
It was reasonably priced, since I don't need the wear surface, so I
figured it would be 'plan B' if I ever have an issue with the flex
plate.
When it arrived (yesterday, after everyone was gone), I sat it on
top of my (cracked) flex plate, and it's almost an inch smaller in
diameter. The mounting holes in the center seem to line up properly.
I remember reading about milling the drive plate to move the starter
.2" closer to the engine, but I don't remember anything about the
smaller diameter.
So, my questions:
Did I purchase the wrong item, would I simply make my starter cutout
in the plate closer to the centerline to account for the smaller
diameter, or was the flywheel mis-represented?
If it's not the described item, I need to send it back, but I don't
want to bother the seller if I simply bought the wrong flywheel.
Thanks,
Charlie
