[Shotimes] SHO Shop Flywheel questions?

[ianf@eden.rutgers.edu]

..as long as you can get replacement inserts for it...SHOshop has 
changed the design of their flywheel a few times over the years and has 
also changed the inserts too. (probably have changed machinists) You 
might want to call them and ask what they have available for the item 
that you are looking at getting.
