215mm flywheel?
Here's my problem, I've got a 5 rib 1800 gearbox and a new 215mm clutch, but no flywheel. Before I go searching for one, is there any reason a 215mm
flywheel won't bolt up to a type 1 motor?
I've searched a few of the forums with not much luck. Lots of comments about using the 215mm flywheel to fit a type 4 into a beetle.
Cheers Luke

The type 1 motor uses a single bolt to mount the flywheel to the crank,the 215mm 1800 flywheel uses 5 10mm bolts to mount to crank. Are you using the
1600 type 1 motor in the kombi, if so use the 200mm 1600 clutch and flywheel and away you go. cheers les

Damn, thought that might be the case. I'll sell the 215mm clutch and head for a Kennedy, I don't quite trust the bog standard clutch with a 1776.
