Chalk Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hey guys, wondering if anyone here in Perth could recommend a workshop/themselves/mate who can lighten a standard 4k flywheel for me at a reasonable price, no one ever seems to get back to me with a quote...

Adsport Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 It's a little bit dicey to do. These companies are probably realising that and don't get back to you due to legal implications. You are a bit better off jumping on all the 4k assosciated groups and waiting for a genuine light one to pop up. I've seen the effects of lightened stock flywheels letting go, it's not pretty, guess where it all ends up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I know a guy who does some machining as a bit of a hobby, based in Forestfield, uses manual machines but produces pretty good work, reasonable price too. Drag racer playing with rotaries, so understands motorsport. You'd have to find someone willing to balance it for you afterwards. I'd stick to the old principles, no less than 13mm thick through where the clutch drives. Take as much from the outside of the wheel as you can, leaving plenty of thickness for where the pressure plate bolts on, big radii at all changes in direction. This link is for a Datsun, but same principles apply Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalk Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 :hmm: to think I gave away lighten flywheels back in NZ all the time, should've kept my spare parts.... :bash: cheers for the help guys, i have found one place that will bring it down to 7kg an balance it, but they want $450+ :wtf: might look at getting my old engineer in NZ to do a few and ill crate them over :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
