[Fot] Garage Inspiration, cleaning it out, what to scrap?

[DPPI - Mark Craig]

Shawn I have an aluminum one set up for  7.25" clutch. Has like 20 LAPD on it. It is NOT a Fidanza brand. The steel ring gear is thru bolted not sealed with a bolt 1/2 in the aluminum and the other 1/2 in the ring gear. Custom done correctly so it won't separate down the road.  I  have gone to a Tilton hydraulic slave/release bearing set up. All my stuff has to be between 0.175 -0.250 between the clutch fingers and the release bearing. Ive gone with steel flywheels so all the engines can just bolt the tranny on and not have to readjust the spacing.  So now I  have this really nice flywheel and won't be using it. You or someone needs it.

Any lightweight flywheels for a Spit 1300?

Back in the late 90's I got rid of every Triumph part I had when I decided it would be a better idea to race a Healey!

Somehow in 2020 5 Triumphs and about twice as many parts have found their way back into the garage and other Triumph part pushers stand in the wings to hook me up with more.

it's hard decision time. can I cast into the smelter my waist high stack of old flywheels and pressure plates? What about the 75 lb box of old front hubs? Gotta be a good one in there!  How about old transmissions?  An aftermarket vinyl TR-4-6 Hardtop?  It nearly fits!

I don't want to sound nasty, but the existence of these parts is threatened unless you step up!

I can't talk about this with my wife and my brother would have melted it all down 10 years ago.

Right now all this stuff is in Albuquerque, but considering my inability to make difficult life choices, it will all wind up in a storage unit in Salt lake about July 15th.

This is a cry for help, should I scrap all the flywheels and pressure plates?

my finger's on the trigger.
