Hello James,

 

I have a stock 13b ( estimated 150 hp) with RWS equipment. I used a = racing aluminum flywheel and removed the steel clutch facing. Then I = resized the RWS splined hub to fit. Basically I copied RWS by making a = new plate and riveting on the RWS splined hub to my new plate. Because = the new plate is a smaller OD I used 6 bolts instead of 4. I used the = same durometer rubber cushions.

 

Thanks,

Dave Williams
