Ill guess that Sam's is a light weight aluminuim job and Rodknocks is a little heavier

Sam, Rodknock what are your flywheel stats please?

Thx
27# McLeod Al/Steel. It will accommodate a 12" clutch. I once had a Hays 40# steel but I pulled a groin muscle trying to mount it once ... But there are some *light* FWs out there. I think a 14# one exists. Not sure why ...

Also, before someone asks, it is a 3.31:1 axle ratio Jag/ERA IRS and the T-600 .82 o.d.

I use the FE parts list prepared by the Kirkhams for BH/FW/Clutch/PP and I have a McLeod Hyd TOB. 12" clutch w/kevlar pads on the FW side, organic on the PP side.

Sam
