Sorry bro One of these puppies is for me and the other one is a gift from me to Wankel7 my friend for his 91 TII. I wanted to thank him for helping me out and being a cool FC friend. So nope neither one of these is for sale. Sorry.

Hey, glad everything worked out. I'm not sure if you needed that mount plate from the counterweight, but if I remember right, I sent it along(?).

Both are TII flywheels I was just standing further away than the other. the weight is for BOTH AND their counterweights. The flywheels are RB Light Steel flywheels. I think it says on their site that with counterweight it is 17 so I multiplied by two.

When I totaled my N/a I came back and now I am stuck here again. The other aspects of my life got better though so I don't think this was too much of that problem. In any case I don't have a working FC right now so I have the drive to wrench which I am satisfying by geting the flly wheels and all the other stuff for my car. Hopefully in a year or so I will have finished my car.

yes, but don't expect it to last very long. Really though, it's probably your power output that determines your clutch life IMO.

The subject of clutch wear is debated.
