[Mg-t] MGTF Flywheel and Pressure Plate Torque??? And Locking Wire

[Gene Fodor]

I see you already have Dave's torque list, so let me suggest ATS - Aircraft
Tool Supply Company, at: www.aircraft-tool.com for your safety wire. Many
aircraft attaching parts are secured by various diameter safety wires and
they have it all. They also have the safety wire twist tool.

Subject: [Mg-t] MGTF Flywheel and Pressure Plate Torque??? And Locking Wire

I have a 1955 MGTF 1500 that I am doing a Moss 5 speed conversion on so
while it was down I removed the flywheel to get it resurfaced and a new ring
gear installed. I just went to my workshop manual and it does not have
torque specs for the Flywheel and Pressure Plate installation. Does anyone
know the torque specs for both?

 

Also the workshop manual talks about a locking wire on the flywheel bolts.
When I removed my flywheel there are holes in the bolt heads for a locking
wire but none was installed when I removed them. I also looked it up in the
Moss catalog and they do not show a locking wire so here is my question, is
the locking wire really needed and if so what do I use as the wire?

 

Thanks,
