I tried one a couple of years ago and at least for what they sold as a
Spitfire piece was totally poorly designed and would not work in the
application. I even spoke with their "design engineer" and sent them
pictures of the problems with dimensions. Ultimately the flywheels went bac=
k
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.
