Default Re: Flywheel for 1600 Crossflow

Hi , As a Historic Racer of Cortinas I am surprised you would be using a Standard Ford Flywheel.
I am not across the regs for Formula Ford but we always use a machined Steel Flywheel.(unless the 1600 had a steel one)
The reason of course is that Cast ones tend to shatter with bits flying off in every direction, possibly wrecking parts of the car and injuring people. I saw one let go at Winton Raceway and 4 cars ended up with serious damage .
There other other advantages which I won't go into here in case the FF regs don't allow them.
