WDZ.....interesting post and it's important you let Club Cobra people know about these experiences. Red is sometimes difficult to get in touch with and lately "George" has been answering some of the calls. I'm sure the machine shop doing the balance work knew they had a problem right away...that flywheel only goes on one way. I am surprised McLeod didn't handle the Tech question better....they most likely get calls about flywheel applications quite often, ones involving the external and internal balance of the FE. They probably found it impossible to believe they had a problem because 99% of calls are usually about the internal or external weight they install....and not how it's installed but if it needs to be installed at all. They didn't take the time to listen to what the problem was...but assumed the customer didn't know what he was talking about...that's a problem sometimes.
McLeod does offer some very good products and this points out the need for any builder or customer to never assume anything about new parts. I'm glad you pointed it out and your shop helped you get it resolved...that's another reason to find a good shop to help in your project! And another great reson for Club Cobra to be here!
Good Luck...
George
