I've run one for many years behind a BBC no problems I'd get a good Pressure plate!

Yep got that and a good disc, just wanted to get opinions on the "vaunted" L88 Flywheel. Nothing but good feed back, you we'll use it.

The boys had to get a couple projects out of the shop, now their back on the '55 for awhile. Here's some picks getting the frame rails ready. They are gonna offer Tri-5 axle kits so they are building jigs/patterns off this one so they can do a little assembly thing.Click image for larger version Name: IMG952012070595164136.jpg Views: 213 Size: 316.6 KB ID: 1689567
