Craig advised me to use loctite on the threads and the bolt face to insure against a big metal frisbee exiting out the fender during a missed gear change.
If ever an A series flywheel breaks up during a missed shift, the fender will be the least of your worries as that flywheel is prety much in line with your foot.
Thats true.
I couldnt find the photo of the clutch that went bang I'm just thankful I wasnt driving.
Someone else might have more luck.
Do either of you care to show pics of your datsun engine bays? Please mainly focus on your modified engine mounts that sit your engines back.
Both 1200's and 1000's in stock form, mount the engine in a position as that the flywheel is about 2 inches forward of the firewall. 120Y's have even more distance. Well atleast all the ones I have owned or worked on have.
Whats that? Textbooks dont teach you this? Maybe its time to actually work on a datsun and not pay people to do it and then just bring parts home to sit beside your computer.
The pics of the flywheel that came loose, will clearly show that Stirlingmac's engine was well and truely recessed into the firewall.
But what would I know? I cant read.
