Flywheel has been completed. Dimensions checked with it fitted and I think we are all good
It now needs to go for balancing.![[Image: 15649220066_82d8f2ceee_b.jpg]](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3939/15649220066_82d8f2ceee_b.jpg)

Couple of small errors fixed. One mine - recess too big was solved with ring as per earlier suggestions (machined to 0.05mm and then frozen to get it in - thanks for the advice again guys!). The other was the machine shop that drilled the bolt holes (my bridgeport is out of action), they screwed up and drilled 2 at the wrong spacing (even professionals get it wrong of course!).. also fixed with a plug in each and I think a good save.

So we have some progress!

Sweet! Don't sweat the bolt patterns, I just drilled a flywheel to 12x130mm instead of 12x103mm. I'll just call it light weight as it has 31 holes in it now

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

(11-01-2014, 04:41 PM)axel606 ben this has been a marathon.
well done!
i cannot wait to see this G wagen fly with this amazing drivetrain.
great engineering / great recovery from your mini - dramas.
Its been fun too
I certainly learned a couple of lessons:
1) most-anyone can work in 10th of mm with care, but working to 100ths separates the engineer from the tinkerer!
2) Verniers are called 'very-nears' by the professionals for good reason when 1)
3) Carbide tooling rocks and WNMG inserts do 90% of most operations I needed to do
4) I know what I'd do differently next time around. My W123 estate could be epic with another of these .. maybe with a HE351VE and controler from Ole .
5) Spending every night 20 miles away in your workshop is a real test of you wife's patience and the very foundations of your marriage (both remarkable
- I won't test it with 4) anytime soon.More updates to follow!

My vote for best post of, at least, today. And one for best thread of the year, it has a certain "sticky" feel to it;-D
I figure you're either a professor or a philosopher because your machining skills are obviously "lacking."
Congrats and YES please keep feeding the monster. It isn't capable of synthesizing pics on its own...

I have pistons being coated ATM though, will post back on a new thread to show the results.
I'll be back on this once everything has been balanced in a couple of weeks.

sorry for lack of posts guys, just work keeping me away from it!
