Here are some photos of the MOFOCO 6 Volt Flywheel I have. I don't think it's supposed to use a Oring as the the Oring groove if that is what it is is right at the edge. Looks different than the Oring flywheel "hazetguy" pictured above (I see it's setup with roll pins for pinning the clutch, Nice!) My plan is to mate this with a CB Performance 8 dowel CW Crankshaft. I think it just uses the gasket.

I don't know maybe it's an early flywheel core and was opened up to fit a Oring crank? I don't see any problem with it.

Ahh, i see. The flash and extra zoom makes it look worse I’m sure.

| Why dick around mixing 6v and 12v stuff? Since you are using a 1600 crank, just use a common 200mm 12v o-ring flywheel and standard 12v started. Even better, get an autostick starter and don't worry about that stupid bellhouse bushing ever again. |
Not everyone wants to convert the car to 12 volt, or grind the bell housing. It's honestly why I keep a few of the 200/6volt flywheels around, to install later engines into early cars with minimal fuss. |
I suggested this because the op said he was running 12v, and was using a late 1600 crank. The picture is at the worse angle, but it looks like a late crank with the long shoulder and scallops. He can sell that hybrid starter and pay for all the common 12v stuff. Yes, the bellhouse would need clearanced, but that's simple. And he would have all matching, easy to fix/replace stuff rather than less-common components. |

[overly simplified way to make a "rare" 200mm clutch, 6V ring gear, o-ring flywheel]
-find a good german core late model o-ring flywheel.
-have a competent machinist machine the 12V ring gear surface off the flywheel
-have the same competent machinist install a new 109 tooth / 6V ring gear
they are "rare" only if you want them to be.

that flywheel sure does look familiar

Thats ugly but if the flywheel cleans up when surfaced and it fits and is balanced and there is no runout or wobble you certainly could run it. You should be able to find better flywheels than that! Good Luck!

That was my thought, at this point w/ so many out there, I’ll just keep an eye out for the right one.
