I got a few ideas floating around in my head for a SE3 mod. Im going to do some CAD drawings of it. I need a bit of help with a few bits and peices. 1. Is the SP5 flywheel bigger than the SE3 flywheel? If so can someone get the measurements? 2. What colour red should i use for the base? 3. What colour green should i use for the engine frame? Any help is greatly apreciated Lewis aye jim the sp5 flywheel is alot bigger than the sp5s the minty green colour use ford highland green from halfords the red can vary made-in-england I think Phil from Forest Classics knows he told me the red colour once its from halfords and its cherry red or somthing?? probably best to ring him... Sandman Just take the base to Halfords and match the base colour to the nearest red. You can get it really close. Just look at this flat base I did. I had to save the decal so the match had to be perfect. I masked off the decal for a fair area around it and sprayed it in. Just look at the result. You can't see the two paints merge.

If your plan is to buy a new SP5 flywheel then forget it right now, they were bigger but not anymore. steamyjim Thanks guys! I need a SP5 flywheel then Anyone got one?
