Pretty fly for a light guy

Just as an aside and to show you some other things I have on the back burner here are some pictures of the flywheel to be fitted to my A40 when the 1275cc engine goes in. I have lightened it by machining material from the rear face and by cutting out scollops from between the clutch mounting bolt holes. I was cautious not to remove too much material as I don't fancy having lumps from a shattered flywheel smashing my legs to pieces in their bid for freedom. I have managed to reduce the flywheels weight by just over 10% which may not sound a lot but as anyone who understands quantum physics or rocket science will tell you this will significantly reduce the effective mass of the vehicle that the engine sees and as such will allow it to rev up quicker. The down side of lightening the flywheel is that when the throttle is closed the engine also slows down quicker as the energy stored in the flywheel is less. Due to the fact the flywheel has not been massively reduced in weight this should be minimal. All I need to do now is pollish up some of the marks made by the milling cutter to make it look a more professional job then have the crankshaft assembly ballanced. I will up date this information when I have spoken to the machinist who is to grind and ballance the crank.
