[Healeys] Wheel lightening on 100

[Alan Seigrist]

Tadek -

At 45 lbs, there is no downside to lightening the flywheel.

You need that mass if you a driving a truck or lorry, but for the little
half aluminum 100, there is no need for all that mass.  It won't affect your
torque hardly at all, and your revs will be much punchier.

In addition you'll have less rotating mass which will make your car more
stable and handle much better through the turns and panic stops.  There is
almost no downside.  If you are putting a DW head on your 100, you should
put a lighter flywheel.  I like the idea of the BJ8 clutch too... good
idea.  Wish I could put it on my BN1.
