Hello Friends,
I have been corrected for writing that Jon Gannaway had a Fidanza flywheel in
his car. He did not. However, it was an aluminum wheel.

John Gannaway's brand new TR4 Fidanza shed it's ring gear in a spectacular and
extremely dangerous way during the Sonoma Kastner Cup qualifying race. Not sure
what happened there. Possible heat expansion of the aluminum and too tight ring
gear clearance.
Greg Solow has them made to his specifications. That's what's in my TR3.

the company is the illustrations they use for the item online are not accurate.
Two specific things are the starter ring is shown and stated as coming with the
piece but it does not. The second item is the number of holes for crankshaft
mounting is the stock number (4) and not the additional holes shown in the
illustation. This is false advertising in my book. What you see is not what you
get.

to them. It sounds like they never corrected the errors.
So in response to your question, mine was a very negative experience. What
they were selling as a Spitfire flywheel neither worked with a 1296 nor a
1500.
Thankfully I still have a couple of NOS Tilton flywheels on a shelf.

Has anyone in the group had any positive or negative experiences with
Fidanza aluminum flywheels? The one I purchased for my 1300 Spitfire will
not accept the clutch/pressure plate.
