I am currently rebuilding a 1500cc engine that was in my 1964 beetle. I have now discovered that i need to replace the flywheel as the teeth are badly damaged.
I have been told that there are 3 different sized flywheels: 200mm 12v, 180mm 12v and a 180mm 6v. I have measured my flywheel and it is 180mm, as this car was originally 6v (now converted to 12v) I am assuming that I need the 180mm 6v? Although I have since been told that I could use the 180mm 12v, grind out a lug in the gearbox and replace the starter motor with the 12v version.
Seeing the 180mm flywheel 6v or 12v seem to be like rocking horse poo, can I use the 200mm and replace the clutch and starter motor?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. :?
