flywheels

[Nfal@domain.elided]

Take the  flyweel to a performance machine shop and they will cut equally 
from both the disc surface and the PP mount surface. Then have the flywheel 
balanced, they came balanced from the factory. This IS important. The machine 
shop should also be able to install the ring gear.

 Subject: Flywheel Issues (2nd Try)
 
 I only got one person (Thanks again Charles) to respond to my questions,
 so I thought I'd ask again for a few more opinions.
 
 I am at the end of a 2 year tranny rebuild (light gears) and clutch job
 for my '76 Spider. I am considering buying an IAP refinished flywheel
 for $126. Since mine has a nasty ring gear, I'll get hit for at least
 $30 more on the exchange. They say their flywheels have been balanced.
 
 I'm also considering just replacing the ring gear on mine for about $70,
 parts and labor since the flywheel itself appears in very good condition
 having never been surfaced and has no visible cracks. Then the
 refinishing will be another $35.
 
 The question is do I need to have the thing balanced too? Does anyone
 have any feedback, or other options to consider?
 
 Also, what is the dimension supposed to be between the friction surface
 and the pressure plate mounting surface supposed to be on flywheels for
 Spica Cars? Just in-case I decide have mine surfaced.
 
 Thanks,
 Jason Glover
