Lightweight Zetec flywheel
Anyone know where I can pick up such a thing at something resembling a Locost type price, tried all the usual supects. Some of the prices I've
been quoted are eye watering and the only reasonably priced one I've found (£95) needed 165 quids worth of clutch chucking at it. Failing that a
1.8 flywheel would be useful.

1.8 cvh is as light as you will get with a standard flywheel but it does mean running a trigger wheel on the front pulley.

1.8 flywheel is lighter but doesn't take the 2litre clutch have it lightened and balanced
at a local machine / engineering shop
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Nope its a 220mm clutch plate, the 2.0 is a 240mm clutch.

But the 1.8 can be redrilled for a sierra pressure plate, sierra driven plate and still use the standard sierra CCT132 release bearing in your type 9
and you may have all those bits already and it comes with the trigger holes in the back and will cope with 200bhp, more if you buy it an organic
plate.
It's what I got on the back of my ST170 engine.

I've got (apart from a car with a great big empty hole at the front)
A 1.8 Zetec
A 2.0 flywheel
A new 1.8 clutch
The release bearing from the T9/Crossflow that's just been taken out (don't know the serial number but assume it will have to be changed)

just stick the 1.8 zetec fly' in then. You will want a longer thrust bearing and job done.

Don't know if it's any help but I have a 1.8 blacktop flywheel you can have if you collect it , not sure of the weight . Has some surface
rust but a good clean would see it O.K.

Whilst rare, a flywheel from an Efi orion has the 36-1 triggers in the back and should be light. Good luck hunting tho.

The less I worked, the more i liked it.

Aside from the fact that CVH EFi flywheels need the holes drilling out from 10mm to 11mm - but only an EFi flywheel will do due to offset holes to
line the flywheel up to the crank.
Long live RWD...

This is what I've done. I used a 1.8 CVH trigger wheel as well welded to the Zetec crank pulley. The clutch is all standard 1.8cvh bits.
It all fits together fine.

Rusty Nuts, thanks for the offer but can't get down to Cambridge over the next couple of weeks.
Does anyone know if the flywheels from the 1.8 are the same regardless of donor , Mondy/Focus/etc.
