Standard Pinto flyhweel

As the subject really. I have a friend who is after a standard pinto flyhweel for a Jago jeep build. Money is tight so its got to be very cheap (or free!) but we will cover the cost of postage

Must be one in a scrap yard that's use-able?

That said, scrap yards you can wander around these days are limited!

Not many pinto engines left in scrap yards now and if you find one they will charge a forune to take it out and supply it too you.....gone are the Saturday mornings we used to strip cars at the yard just to see how they worked! Never used to leave with much other than grubby hands but they didn't seem to care to much

I know what you mean - I spent time in my local scrappy just fiddling and quite happy with it I was.

You have to remember that Formula Ford 2000 and Sports 2000 racing, which both use the Pinto, is in a very healthy condition both here and on the continent. Not much going cheap these days for those motors......
