Flywheels

[Kevin55]

hello to the collective, my question I hope is a simple one in that we're long stroke steel flywheels made with the 4 large balance holes in the same place around the diameter as the short stroke steel version ? My question is relating to having some flywheels made using the shirt stroke ones I have in a long stroke engine as a pattern, your wisdom is very much appreciated these wheels will go into a 59 engine.

I can't help as I've not had a short stroke engine but this thread about making flywheels from EN26 billet may be of interest......

I'm just hoping someone has a set of longstroke ones to compare with, just some measurements will be fine my friend

Here are pics of a '58 G3 flywheel. Does that help?

Hi sorry no, I have G3 and G9 iron wheels, I also have a set of late short stroke steel wheels, I just need to know if the 4 large holes around the circumference of the steel wheels are the same spacing as the long stroke steel wheels, the stroke I have the measurement gor as I can take it from the long stroke iron wheels.

Fgs I've stumbled on a thread that informs me steel flywheels came out in 62 so no long stroke ones were ever made which contradicts another thread I've found that states to the contrary, parts books don't state whether the wheel is iron or steel, I can't forsee a problem having some made if the balance factor is correct !
