can somebody give me the contact deets for the dude on CCGT and how much it costs to do ?

i am using a 16v box and flywheel in my conversion, which is a BAM engine.. im guessing this is worth doing ??

Contact 'Hotgolf' over on CGTI. I think he charges £69 to lighten and balance an ABF flywheel which you'd have to supply.

When i had mine done it cost £45 iirc for lightening and balancing from a machine shop...

But they would only do it whilst bolted to a crank!

Hardly a fair comparison then, is it?
Marts price includes return postage, and quick turn around.

If you don't want your crank doing...it's a perfect option.

My point is, it may be worth going to your local machine shop... I could pop down on my work breaks

Plus when i had mine done i never knew about this guy... and I probably would have used him.

I don't think id be happy having some random machine shop playing around with my flywheel because if it isn't done correctly you're looking at some serious engine and gearbox damage.
Id much rather pay a few quid more and give it to someone that has experience with flywheels on  a daily basis.

easy enough to machine down on a lathe but you also need balancing equipment to re balance it after cutting :)

I had an 020 flywheel done by hotgolf for my mk1, top bloke and quality job. When I need to do the clutch on the mk3 I'll be sending an 02A one to be done :)
