looks like a lightweight (maybe 3-4kg?) flywheel (possibly from sbd or qed) with a mount for a 7.25" clutch which looks like a single plate AP
uprated/race clutch. I've just bought a similar AP clutch except mine is a twin plate type. I also have a 2.5kg flywheel which is lighter than
the one in the picture. should allow the engine to rev more freely, nice upgrade
Drill marks are often used for balancing, are there correspndong marks on the flywheel, pressure plate and spacer plate on the clutch? they should all
be aligned so you reassemble the clutch in the correctly balanced orientation. Assuming they have been used as one piece (ie flywheel and clutch)
before, then the balancing should be ok, unless they have been balanced as one piece with a crank as well.
1x23 is 1" x 23 splines which is ford input shaft spec ie for a type 9 box.
Ned.
ps i've been told my twin plate is good for 280-300bhp, so i'd guess your single plate should cope with 2-250bhp, though this is only a
guess!

Change the sintered plate for a ceramic paddle plate and you will get more drivability, i.e more slip.
Ned, you disapoint me. You should know by now that clutches are rated by torque not power.

Gazza,
Of course I know this, but most people rate xe's by power rather than torque, and most engines around a certain power output wil produce similar
torque as they are of course related. I can't even remember the torque figures they make anyway, is it 160lb/ft standard and around 200lb/ft for
a 280-300bhp unit?!
Ned.
