Technical What flywheel do I have? Flathead

Hey folks,

Picked up what I thought was a cut down A/B flywheel setup for a V8 clutch.

Was just comparing it to a stock A flywheel and the A pilot bearing just drops thru.



Guessing this is a cut down flathead flywheel

Sure looks like one , if you measure the bolt circle and center to center on the dowels I can compare to mine tomorrow....also a photo of the back would help...where about are you located in Jersey? I'm down here in ***berland county....

 

Hey King Ford,

I’m up in Freehold.

Top pic is the back with the A pilot bearing just sitting in there on the work bench.

Looks like qcenter to Center on the dowels is 3 1/2. I think bolt pattern is same as the banger but ring her would not be in the same location.

Here’s a side shot of the flywheel in question

Here’s a shot from the rear comparing to a stock A flywheel. Certainly looks similar, wonder it someone had just opened up the pilot bearing whole ?

Looks as though the pilot bearing hole has been opened up for a bigger input shaft bearing.... probably using a different transmission.

 

It does look like it may have been machines out



Measures out at 1.846



Fits the crank and if I had the ring gear on it it seems like it’s in the right place.





Time to find a pilot bearing that has a 1.845 OD, any ideas ?
