I am going to machine my flywheel in aid of lightening it some,
can anyone please help with a bit of a not what to do if you can?
also wondering if any other mods are required?
I believe some spacers will be required in the clutch pressure plate?
cheers

I was going to do the same in a few weeks. Was going to base it on a thread I found from a while ago.

Take note off what you machine off the flywheel, because you will have to make spacers up for the bolts so they are at the right height.
