Hi All,

I have a lightweight flywheel for my M20. What is the easiest way to fit it?
Can i undo the prop at the box and drop it, then undo the box and shift it backwards to get access to the flywheel?

Any help appreciated

Good chance to fit a new clutch whilst it's all in bits.....

Was thinking about a clutch too, any point in fitting a performance one?

A standard 325 spec LUK or SACHS will be fine unless your running a big turbo, I'm using an LUK in mine with no problems... Except the time I planned to do a smoky start and put it in 3rd by mistake, the clutch wasn't keen on that :o: :o: :o:

In retrospect I think the SACHS is the better clutch, it's what BMW fit at the factory.
