I race a TR4 in vintage races. I have a flywheel on my car that only weighs 
seven lbs, without the ring gear. When I bolt on the ring gear, it adds 
another three to four lbs.

I've developed a lightweight ring gear which cuts ring gear weight by about 
1-1/2 lbs. This is a weight reduction at the periphery, where it counts the 
most. It will work on any TR2 -4A flywheel with a bolt-on ring gear. TR6 
ring gears could be made at the same time if there is any interest.

I am going to have one and only one run of these ring gears made. The cost 
will be $150 including shipping. I know that's pretty pricey but that's as 
low as I can get it.

If anyone out there in Triumphland is interested and wants to be included, 
please email me.
