what happened with the flywheel

After 9 weeks the bloke couldn't do it. So now I'm having one completely custom made with twin plate racing clutch to take the torque. Bout another 3 weeks I reckon. They've had all the stuff 2 week now. Company called CG motorsports. real nice guy. Got To change the clutch slave from pull to push tho. Sorted that out. Got a commercial concentric slave off a merc van installed. Just more faff. It will be very strong and reliable wen done tho.

Lookin good Ol....

#114 by Mallinman , Sun Oct 23, 2016 7:58 pm

Cheers boys. £1200 for the lot. But it's a proper job tho. Still money I didn't wanna spend tho.

#115 by 123hotchef , Sun Oct 23, 2016 7:59 pm

u will save that money in the long run with reliability

#116 by George , Mon Oct 24, 2016 4:44 pm

That is really looking very nice great work

#117 by Mallinman , Mon Nov 14, 2016 5:27 pm

Well still got no sodding flywheel. Still waiting. I got stuck in the van out shooting at the weekend and all I could think was that a 4x4 would have got through this. Transits do not do tractor ruts if anyone has an incling to try. It did well. But not good enough. 4wd transit for the next project maybe.

#118 by yozer13 , Tue Nov 15, 2016 9:16 pm

shouldnt be bad part wise as the newer defender has got the tranny 2.2 engine and box with a landrover transfer box on the back of it.
having a fair bit of trouble getting that flywheel made

#119 by Mallinman , Tue Nov 15, 2016 9:43 pm

Spoke to the guy today and he said Defoe next week to come out with it all done on the back side. Then just take measurements and cut the front face back to the right size. Hopefully not long now. I'm getting tired of waiting.

#120 by Yoda , Wed Nov 16, 2016 6:28 pm

Sorry bout the hassles Ollie. But on the the plus side I love your truck more with every update. Now officially my second favourite truck. After mine of course.

#121 by Mallinman , Mon Dec 05, 2016 11:11 pm

Well finally got the flywheel sorted.

Now just need to get the gearbox 25mm further forward as we can't push the the flywheel out any more as it will be too heavy. 2 options. Either get a lengthened lay shaft or cut and weld the bell housing. Goanna try suss some things out tomorrow over many cups of tea and a pack of chocolate hobnobs.

#122 by George , Tue Dec 06, 2016 6:12 pm

that is looking very nice getting close now very interesting well done

#123 by Mallinman , Tue Dec 06, 2016 10:05 pm

So I went for option 2. Built a jig to realign it all after.

#124 by Mallinman , Tue Dec 06, 2016 10:06 pm

Welded the grinder to a flat plate so I could get even cut lines. Needed to take 30mm out.

All cut and back in the jig. Measured it all so it's true and level. Ready for tacking.
