On the hunt for the elusive Thor flywheel

Post by Mattbdiscovery »

Hi I’m Matt, all the way from New Zealand, I have joined to learn more about the Thor engines, currently own the 4.0 fitted to a Discovery 2. Been working a lot to bring it back up to a reliable standard.

Also here to track down a flywheel, I have a R380 box ready to go in but the missing a flywheel which seems to be near impossible to get. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Cheers team

Matt

What's special about the flywheel vs others ?

The crank signal pick up is unique on this flywheel for the Bosch system

Looking at images, the drillings although a little odd, I still see it as a 58-2 trigger ?

Wouldn't be too hard to run a normal flywheel and add a 58-2 wheel to the front pulley and run off that

ALthough there are some on ebay
