[Tigers] engine ancillaries

[Smit, Theo]

I would argue that changing to a low-inertia flywheel is an easy, safe,
and relatively inexpensive way to improve the acceleration performance
of the Tiger. Also, since it's inside the bellhousing, there's no issue
with stock appearance.

As far as "period availability" goes, you have to think that at least
some of the race car builders in 1964 had figured out the benefits of
light flywheels. I've never heard or read of details on the clutch and
flywheel used in the HSC Tiger, but I'd be surprised if that was a stone
left unturned by Doane Spencer.

I would leave the flywheel stock.
