I caved was Re: [Shotimes] are Al flywheels worth it?

[Ian Fisher]

Well, I went ahead and bought a used SHOshop unit
today for half the price of a new one. The insert is
supposed to be in good shape but I'll still mic it and
maybe have the shop grind it down ever so slightly.
FWIW Clutchmasters denies supplying the SHOshop with
their flywheels but I am not sure I believe that. I
called them in search of a cheaper insert since I
believe their flywheel is the one that the SHOshop
sells.

As far as a clutch goes, I am looking at the
Clutchmaster's unit that Mike is selling..organic
disc, HD PP.

I need acc belts, plug wires, maybe chain tensioners,
shims and a clutch....and I think that's finally it!
