Replacing clutch on a 6 bolt flywheel

[TobyB]

...and lots of places (shit, me included) have a bridgeport and rotary table.  30 minutes

 of setup, 20 minutes of indexing, drilling and tapping, and 10 minutes of cleanup make for an even hour

to do this...  and for an extra few, they could throw a cutter into the mill, and face it for almost not much more.

 

But I'm with Byron- get this to .005" or less runout.  

 

Or just get an 8 bolt crank.  

 

Or an S14 crank...

If you really want a 6 bolt crank how about this one?  I have a 6 bolt Aluminum flywheel set up for a single or dual 7.25" racing clutch too.

Well.... isn't that a sexy bit of kit?  Nice...

 

Thanks Byron, I'm not planning on racing this old girl, and the engine only has 20,000 miles on it since David Cruse built it in '85.  I have no plans to replace the crank or get into this lump save to adjust the valves and modify the FW to accept a modern 228mm clutch.

That is sexy i will say.

 

Not that I am under any deadline anymore....haha, a 7.25" AP racing clutch (CP 2125 twin plate) takes 16-18 weeks to get (FYI in case you want/need one), they make to order, apparently not enough demand?  Apparently they are balanced so no need to balance the flywheel / clutch together ?  Haven't had a chance to visit with my engine builder on that one a I just did get the clutch in last week.
