Cheers

Yep, seen it done, you'll need the smaller 1600 clutch, but I reckon it will more than handle the locost weight.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

it is slightly lighter due to the fact it hasn't got the same ammount of meat at the back but in all honesty it works out the same price to have
a 2l flywheel lightened
after you account for the fact you have to buy the 1600 one probably reface the clutch surface get new sized clutch.

Conrod's right,
I did bought a 1600 flywheel and I happend to be carrying both of them, one in each hand. Hmmm.....thinks I, these seem to be similar in weight. so I
weighed 'em.
Cant remember the weights but the 1600 was 0.6 kg hevier than the 2000.
Had the 2 litre skimmed and binned the 1600.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I saw one used on a 2 ltr pinto cos the original was scored badly and we had a spare 1.6 handy. It fitted so it went in. The smaller pressure plate
and cover must be lighter. If you are reusing the bolts to fit it put plenty of threadlock on them and make sure you degrease them and the holes
thoroughly. Better safe than sorry.

Sorted it. The early ones on the 1.6 and 1.3 were 1" smaller friction plate etc.

Thanks everyone - useful advice...
methinks I need to find a source now for a cheap lightweight flywheel!
I don't really trust standard one's 'ground down' after I saw one fail - nasty!
