FLYWHEELS

We offer REBUILT STOCK FLYWHEELS and SOLID STEEL FLYWHEELS. Be sure to read about each type before ordering.

We also offer bolt kits to rebuild your own. Flat? Recessed? See page 108!

Bad Flywheels: Stock ﬂywheels are riveted together. They are usually good for 50,000 to 110,000 miles, then they start

to rattle and later also vibrate badly. If yours has over 75,000 miles and you are replacing a clutch disc,

I would replace the ﬂywheel. Be sure to repIace all seaIs and gaskets.

See our "Special Gasket Sets" – page 4.

CHECKING AN OLD FLYWHEEL: We have found that 9 times out of 10 you can tell a bad ﬂywheel as follows:

1. Hold ﬂywheel in air by outer edge by one hand and hit center area

(where it bolts to crankshaft) with a hammer.

GOOD FLYWHEEL: Sharp ringing sound. Sounds "solid" and crisp.

BAD FLYWHEEL: Thud, no ringing sound, like hitting a giant piece of sheet metal. May even sound rattly.

STOCK FLYWHEEL: NEW – ORIGINAL 3 PIECE STYLE – Check "NOS" on website

See SOLID STEEL below or REBUILT STOCK top of page 110.

FLYWHEEL BOLTS: 1960-69 Standards – Set of 6 ﬂywheel to crankshaft bolts C787 6 oz. /set

FLYWHEEL RING – Retainer Ring

This ring holds the stock and rebuilt stock ﬂywheel to the crank gear.

DO NOT USE with Solid ﬂywheels or with spring loaded clutch disc.

STOCK: Original size – exact repro – 1960-69 All C1564R 6 oz.

SPECIAL: Improved – 1960-69 All C7738 6 oz.

This ring has several advantages over the stock retainer ring.

1. The bolt holes are just large enough for the stock bolts (not way oversize like the original).

2. Made from high alloy and heat treated.

3. Slightly thinner than the original so allows bolts to fully engage.

4. Not for use with solid ﬂywheel or spring loaded clutch disc.

SOLID STEEL FLYWHEEL

Machined from 1 piece of high grade steel. No rivets, no ﬂexing, or distortion. Slightly heavier (by

about 2 lbs.) than stock. Flywheel should last a lifetime. Less bogging starting off or shifting, very

little acceleration loss. So perfectly machined that balancing is only needed for high performance

or real hard driving. If you do get it balanced do so with your clutch and pressure plate as a unit.

Retainer ring not needed. We've sold these since 1976 – a truly proven product.

WORKS WITH ALL CLUTCH DISCS (Including Spring Loaded).

1960-63 FLAT STYLE C2296E 18 lbs.

1964-69 STYLE (shown) C2296 18 lbs.

REBUILT FLYWHEELS

Nearly every standard transmission Corvair has a failed or

failing ﬂywheel. We offer 2 TYPES of REBUILT FLYWHEELS

(Bolted & Re-Riveted).

1. BOLTED FLYWHEELS

A. The rivets are replaced with custom made, heat-treated taper bolts, welded and locking

nuts are loctited on for rattle-free service.

B. The ﬂywheel face is resurfaced and the ﬁnished assembly is then trued so that all

runout is corrected to less than .010" (far better than most originals). You may still

want to balance with your pressure plate & clutch disc for a smooth running engine.

BOLTED FLYWHEELS – see core below

1960-63 (Flat Style) C6373 18 lbs.

1964-69 (Recessed, Step Style) C6374 18 lbs.

REFUNDABLE CORE FEE: The price in the Price List includes a core fee which will be

refunded when you return a good core postpaid. The core refund is listed after the part

number and price. We Do Not Accept welded, modiﬁed, cores that have already been

bolted, or "rusty junk".
