The flywheel I used is from Kennedy Engineered Products (no relation). It cost $290 and is a beautiful piece of metal. For a smaller amount of money they will put the appropriate ring of teeth on a Porsche flywheel you provide. Transatlantic shipping wouldn't be cheap, but I would still recommend buying vs. making this part unless you have a wonderful machine shop handy. The KEP flywheels are made to order, not stocked. You might consider asking to have yours made a little thinner: On both engines I have mounted my flywheel on (71 911T and now 77 911S) I have had to machine about 1/8 in. off the boss for one of the crankcase bolts. Email me direct if you have other questions. And good luck -- 125hp with reduction gearboxes sounds like something that could lift the front wheels on a good day. B.
