I`ll be doing another run of CNC machined lightweight flywheels shortly,,, just wondering how much interest there would be so i can work out how many i should do in this next batch,,,, I have about 20 flywheels right now but if there is more people wanting them than 20 will allow for...then,,, well,,, let me know if you`re keen & i`ll do a list of all your names & ph numbers so i can tag one for you

They should end up at about $160 exchange (2 piece only please?)

& look just like these-->

Phone or PM me please,,, my e-mail system seems to still be playing up :-( I`m going to have to change server/host or whatever it is :-)

anyways,,, just a heads up if any of you want one as i`m pretty sure there is only about 8 avaliable from this batch & i take ages inbetween making them ,,,so get in now or wait another 6 months (a year) :-)

hey Matt,

how about a package deal with a bit of 6mm plate bent and drilled to make a scatter shield with the lightweight flywheels?

might maintain the ability of ausmini members to breed. but maybe you don't want that?
