Title: Fidanza flywheel
Post by: Pfreen on Friday,November 23, 2018, 12:01:52 PM

I just received a fidanza flywheel to put in my tc special.
The have not removed my existing flywheel yet because I would like to have all my parts together before tackling changingthe flywheel.

The first problem I found is that the steel clutch disc surface is only 8” in diameter while the clutch disc is 8.5”.

I measured the ring gear and the od is about 11.875” and has 139 teeth.  Does anyone know the size of the ring gear?

Has anyone else fitted a fidanza flywheel on a tc.  Please don’t respond if you fitted one on a Renault engine.  There are other threads that mixthe two and it is totally confusing.

Thanks

Well, a Europa is not mentioned.  So I can’t tell.
