Yes its a standard SD1 unit.

I was hopping I could fit a trigger wheel too it, but look like it will be a lot of work.

A standard 2wd flywheel is roughly 32lbs.

Just weighed mine tonight, had to lug it up a flight and a half of stairs to my flat, now if I had a brain I would have taken the scales down to the car!

Anyway it weighs in at 28 1/2 lb I knew it had been lightened and balanced but didn't know what the original weight was, not too light and should go well with the new engine.

That's about the normal weight for a lightened cast flywheel. From what I can see they are usually 4-5lbs lighter.

V8 tuner do them for £240 but they are 27lbs

I think DJE do them for £334 according to their website and they are 17lbs - so I'm guessing its one of them

Aluminium flywheels can be had for £430, also from V8 tuner - which only weigh 11lbs!!!
