Once this is done will take with flywheel for surface grind and hopefuly to lighten it up also then balance complete unit, flywheel and clutch.
To remove material from front side or at back side? Appreciate advice.
Just to get it set up good before fitting. original weight is quoted around 35 lbs and possible to remove 8 to 10 lbs off/
thanks,

Hi Phil, can't help on a 59A wheel but I recently lightened an 8BA wheel.

Weight was the same as you mentioned, 34# before I started, managed to safely remove 10# with some machining!

Here's a shot of the wheels showing the numbers.

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Wishing all here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
