DIY Flywheel / PP / Rotor / Drum Balance Checking Fixture
This dual friction disc was only out 1g @ ~ 5"...
Found that if I set up the fixture on the concrete floor instead of the bench plate, resolution improved to 1g with the cold rolled shafts. The 65lb bench plate plugs into a single 2" square receiver style socket in the bench, turns out there was a little flex when the parts were rolled from one side to the other. Need to make a slightly larger dia arbor to balance my full face iron discs.
I also opened up the center hole in the block plate, something I wanted to do to improve flywheel/clutch cooling for when I do 2nd gear launches. Thought about adding an exhaust eductor to pull fresh air thru the bell as well, but not sure I want to send clutch dust thru my big Magnaflow muffler...
