triggerwheel fixing
I just installed a triggerwheel to the crank of my pinto. In order to avoid slipping, I put a bolt in the pulley. Do I need to add 3 more bolts to
keep a balanced crank or is the weigth too low to be relevant?

I made mine as symmetrical as possible and then got it balanced at the engine builders (mines a custom alloy pulley and I was getting the whole bottom
end done anyway)
he hardly had to take anything off it to balance it, aparently it was almost spot on

don't worry it'll all be hidden on the car once its built, just like all the other shinny bits....
that pulley's now in stealth black (hard anodised)
and then I've got the std. belt cover to hide some of it to

To ballence, you would only need to add one more bolt, one each side. Not four (of six, or eight...)
