MarkB Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi all. I had been hunting hi and low for my Vitesse flywheel. Not where I thought I had left it . Found a couple of MK3 Spit ones and was getting confused until I realised the Vitesse and spitfire flywheels are that same size. I had visualised the spitfire one to be a lot smaller. Vitesse one on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warphi1970 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 the friction pad mating surface is alot smaller in diameter however the overall diameter will be roughly the same to get the starter gear close to the starter motor i guess.whats the difference in thickness?

ferny Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Makes sense when you think about it as it'll reduce costs to make the blanks. Ring gears are they same as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surface machined slightly differently and holes and dowels in a different place. So either the Vitesse has a lightweight flywheel or the spitfire has a heavy one.
