Errol,
Just out of interest what would a lightwieght flywheel cost me?
I'll be putting together an L22 (Z22 from a 720 kingcab) for my 710SSS soon
which has a six bolt flywheel.
We don't get L20B's here so I'm wondering what to do about replacing the
huge truck flywheel and clutch assembly with something a bit lighter.
