I've been thinking of getting the RTS flywheel and pressure plate balanced for the mini.

That is twice what I pay, but yes best to have all the rotating assembly done at once. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

If you are going to bother balancing then it needs to be done with crank and the pulley as an assembly. £100 sounds a bit steep but once offset against posting somewhere not local then maybe not so bad.

I knew you would all say that! Just don't have £100 cash at the moment and seem to be getting further away from having either the mini or metro back together |

I'm a rotating equipment engineer. I don't know much about mini engines but I do know about rotating stuff. We balance shafts,impellers, couplings all the time.

I should of said that to balance the clutch / flywheel assembly u will need a mandrel or a another balanced crank to mount it on. Balancing it as a full assembly would be best thing to do but I'm just saying if it's in a built engine and you don't want to strip it you do have options and that there is nothing wrong with joining two separately balanced items.

Yip, should have said the local place told me that. The price is for crank and flywheel Was going to work out more expensive if i just had the clutch done as opposed to the crank and flywheel together |

I use a scrap 998 crank with a good taper specifically for the job of balancing the flywheel and clutch.

The place i spoke to said they would need to make a mount up to do just he flywheel clutch. It was actually half the price to do both flywheel and crank together as they wouldn't need to make the mount. They did lo uggest i stick it in as is and see how it was |

steve, looking at the price, if I have to send the stuff down south and get it back again I'm probably looking at the best part of £25 return on postage so £100 isn't so bad if I do decide to go with it |

well I've decided to nail it all back in the car as is and see; it was sweet reving up before, it was only when the clutch was being feathered I had any vibration and I've put that down to the sintered plate |
