 Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 5:20 pm Post subject: MM1 Flywheel |
 |
|
The grub screw slot in the SEL Lineshaft Flywheel fitted to my MM1 has finally gone. So I am looking for a proper replacement. I do not know the date of the MM1, but here are some pics:
I will pay cash/cheque or a straight swap with the SEL Flywheel.

I've got an SEL flywheel so will check the size for you. I may have a grub screw to fit as well, fingers crossed!

What does that mean Ian  
Barry, I would quite like to retain the SEL Flywheel as it gives the engine a nice heavy 'thump' sound when running. So if someone could simply whip up another grub screw I'd be happy just with that!

The original flywheel would have been smaller and lighter than that one anyway. So it would probably run better with an original.

Simon, FOC = Free Of Charge!!
I have a genuine Minor 1 flywheel that you can try or vary the form of the engine with if you want to keep the larger wheel as well:D

I really need to learn these abbreviations
It would be great to compare the running difference with different flywheels fitted
