Dave,
Have you received the new drive plate from Tracy ?...............You might consider balancing the flywheel
and drive plate bolted together for a more accurate balance job..............

At $100/hr I was only going to do the minimum. Besides, I am looking forward to some weight in the flywheel to help smooth things out.

Dave ,
Not sure exactly where you are located but southern Calif has a bunch of machine shops that cater
to the Hot Rod set and can do flywheel balancing..........I would make some calls and do a little price
compareing.............Bad luck on the bolt hole in the balance pit............I will make a note and mark my
wheel to avoid that problem...........But look on the bright side that is a little less weight............Did you
try to take any more weight off other than the clutch disk area ?

I just got my parts back from the shop today... cost me $350!!! Wont be going back there... though they do need to make a living. Nice work on the starter, addapter plate, and fly wheel. Only problem is that they placed on of the bolt holes part way into the balance pit on the back side. So not only does that throw off the balance, but the bolt head now has symmetrical purchase.. So I will probably take it back for new holes, but will also need to get the fly wheel re-balanced... which is only done a long way away from here....
I wonder how much balancing costs...???

Just trying where to got to get it machined... 9.8 lbs is only about double the existing flex plate.. so not the end of the world.

Kelly,
Well buddy, I guess it is just you and me. Like they say, last one out, turn off the lights.
Have you heard any more about the flywheel conversion from Dave Leonard? Last I recall, he was ready to machine the starter. I keep hoping for a lighter solution from Tracy.
