Hi Bill,
     
     I saw this posting a while back,

     Where did you get the flywheel from, and how much etc.
     
     At the moment we are trying to convert a type I flywheel to bolt to 
     the porsche crankshaft by machining the boss on the flywheel to fit 
     over the porsche crankshaft and then by boring the bolt holes in the 
     type I flywheel to match the porsche setup.
     
     I wondered if the flywheel you used might be a cheaper way round.
