[Fot] Fw: 1147/1300 Crankshafts

[Rick Parent]

Hi Michael,

The flywheel is drilled for both the 1300 and 1500, It uses a very expensive 
4.5" double disc clutch. The single disc clutch is much lighter but is very 
hard to get the car moving with a tall 1st gear and is very hard on the 
disc.  I will be making my own clutch's soon, I think $950 is to much for a 
clutch.

Rick
