ABF light flywheel

Anybody know how light you can go with lightening a standard ABF flywheel?

I have one fitted...but think it's still reasonably lardy...just wondered what is considered the lightest realistically acceptable.

...and following on from that:
Who can do the lightening?

Is Herr Hot-Golf still doing work like that?


Thanks...
Glen.

Try these, not sure if they are still in business but they had a lightened flywheel to suit my 9A on the shelf. Jim Payne was the person I dealt with, he was very helpful, and genuinly interested in my car and what I was doing.

Thanks for the pointers folks.
I seem to recall mine is around 6.5 Kgs.

 

my hotgolf one went down to 5.5kg according to the post office

 

My 020 210mm Flywheel went from 4.98kg down the 3.16kg Hotgolf Engineering style

SACHS Heavy Duty Pressure plate for the Helix Ceramic 4 PUK

 

5.5kg ties up with one I've weighed, skimmed as much as poss on the back.

Rich - did you source the Sachs pressure plate direct? If less than Helix, do recommend the supplier.

 

Got it direct from Helix abit cheaper than Demon T*eaks and also the 4 puk re-pad is cheap too as we mentioned if another topic which i don't think alot off people know about.

 

020 flywheel down to 3.6kg.
it wasnt rebalanced as i told the engineer i wasnt going to be running over 7k rpm..assumed he knew what he was doing..should i get it balanced anyway, to be safe?

 

Yes ! how many fillings do you have in your teeth ?

they mite get rattled out !!

 

i suppose its only gonne come out and get the passenger if it tries to escape, youll be ok

 

Mine wasn't balanced and my engine is silky-smooth at all revs, hasn't shatted yet either

edit-that's with a solid front mount too, don't get any vibrations at all (except for the metal plate that sits behind the pullies, but that's due to it not being secured properly!)

 

Is Hotgolf Engineering still operating to those in the know?
Or has he stopped?

I did think about Agra...not too far away if Hotgolf isn't available.

 

that actually really surprises me, the company who did it have been in the biz for 20 years..really renowned with turbos / diesel engines pumps etc..dont want to offend the guy too much by taking it back

 

Mart is not far away - hopefully we will hear from him soon.

 

I've managed to get an 11lb flywheel fully balanced, drives as normal.

 

i've sorted him out ! and pointed in the right direction

 

...and appreciated it is too!

I have initiated contact.
