[Fot] Fidanza Flywheels

[D V]

I believe I have one in a box of parts that came with my car. Will you post a pic of yours so I can compare?

I use a fidanza aluminum flywheel with steel friction insert in my TR3 (TR4A type). No problem with fitment and performance. The complaint I do have with the company is the illustrations they use for the item online are not accurate. Two specific things are the starter ring is shown and stated as coming with the piece but it does not.  The second item is the number of holes for crankshaft mounting is the stock number (4) and not the additional holes shown in the illustation.  This is false advertising in my book.  What you see is not what you get.

I tried one a couple of years ago and at least for what they sold as a
Spitfire piece was totally poorly designed and would not work in the
application. I even spoke with their "design engineer" and sent them
pictures of the problems with dimensions. Ultimately the flywheels went back
to them. It sounds like they never corrected the errors.
So in response to your question, mine was a very negative experience. What
they were selling as a Spitfire flywheel neither worked with a 1296 nor a
1500.
Thankfully I still have a couple of NOS Tilton flywheels on a shelf.

quality piece.

Has anyone in the group had any positive or negative experiences with
Fidanza aluminum flywheels? The one I purchased for my 1300 Spitfire will
not accept the clutch/pressure plate.
