hi all
what flywheel would i use for 1600 motor to 1200 gearbox but want to use 12v starter?
cheers deon

Use the 12V 1600 flywheel, but you will have to grind out the bellhousing on the 4 high spots and fit an adaptor bush for the starter shaft

The bush is available from Vintage in Sydney 02-9789-1777 if you need it.

thanks man:thumb
the 1600 is out of a kombi will that make a differance?

i have a 1500 box down the back would it be easyer to swap the axles to the shorter ones and use it?

I can't remember if you need to chage the thrust bearing aswell. Does anyone else know?

Depends on what clutch n pressure plate you have fitted

So if you use stock 1600 plate etc, do you change the bearing or are you better of using the 1200 plate etc?
