Thread: Is This V8 Flywheel Okay?

I would get one of your flywheels machined, simple job, regards Frank.

Absolutely true, Frank, but up here everything is difficult. I'll probably try anyway.

Oh Frank - do you know where Dave lives?


For Davo - do you have a dial indicator? Given the circumstances, if the surface is reasonably true, it might work as is. Otherwise, advertise for someone you know on AULRO to assist - say in Darwin. Send it to them and have them use a machinist known to do decent work. ( I'll even volunteer here on the GC if you want to try it )

Frank was just pointing what you'd do in a normal place. Thanks for the offer and I might take you up on it. I've had huge troubles over the years with various businesses here and it would almost be easier buying machinery and making parts from scratch. I have had one recommendation for a company in Perth and I might try them. It cracks me up how a lot of Perth outfits still don't have websites or email.

Dave there is a competent machine shop here in Karratha, I probably have one that I could get them to machine.
You could collect on your way through if traveling or maybe it could get up to you on the skinny dog (Greyhound).

I think its about 5kg overweight--

what are the options for the rest of you manual owners now?

langy, yeh I noticed, mining areas usually have a lot of smaller machine shops, surely someone with a surfacer wouldn't be too hard to find, or would it? Regards Frank.
