Based on some photographs of the works engines, we were able re-create the piece. Dave Kennedy at Lesco did the machine work, as he's done some similar flywheels before and was happy to get involved with the project.
It turned out great and save about 6.5 lbs over stock.
I'm sure its more than 6.5 lbs lighter, which is just on 3kg, when i hade mine lightened by just machining the outer part it was a saving of 2kg. Can you put the flywheel on some accurate scales so we all know for sure what it weighs?
I weighed it on a postal scale and it was right around 14 lbs. I didnt weigh a stock one but from what I recall they were about 20.5 or so?
