ON the flywheel subject:
I have a 9 lb. alloy flywheel, in mint condition, is there an easy way to
determine manufacturer and date? Is this too light for autocross/street
use??
Thanks in advance, and a warm Hello to my former correspondents on this
list incl. uncle Jack, Andy Mace, Irv Korey, John Lye and others. Just in
case you are wondering I have a TR4A on a TR4 frame that is all but
completely dissassembled at this time.
Sincerely
