O/T Spacing a flywheel.
Turbo Mini Forums

Something a bit different but engineering based.
Mounting a modern fwd V6 to a rwd gearbox for my other project car, but the flywheel and clutch need to be moved 22mm further into the bellhousing to get the correct engagement into the clutch plate. The flywheel is a simple bolt to a flange type so i am thinking of having a spacer machined up?

Any thoughts?

Also does anybody know where i can get some high accuracy machining done for said parts

Machine the bell housing!

Own the day

Get an extended input shaft - depending on whose gearbox it is, it may come with different length input shafts anyway (for different fitments to different cars/models) - or if it's the type that connects to the first motion shaft with a splined sleeve, get an extended sleeve made up.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Interesting ideas. If i had 22mm removed from the bellhousing i would then need a flange welding back onto it and keeping it square.
The input shaft has an unsplined section (designed to fit the spigot bush). Im not sure if an extended input shaft is available although it would be an ideal solution.

My mate does it all the time to his V8 engines to fit TVR bell housings on.

If i can find a machine shop to take the bellhousing down flat it may be an option.

Do you know where your mate gets his done?

cheers
