Something I have just noticed that escaped my attention is the design of the 350 engine flywheels. According to the blurb the 350 has right angled triangle shaped flywheel with a curved apex and semi-circular base (see pic) mine is the original engine number but has the conventional circular type flywheel ??? anyone throw any light on this??

Yep read this before as well but in reality never ever seen a pair and not sure they actually exist. Mine were traditional full circle flywheels as well.

Thanks Rob, did wonder as my engine had been apart before at some point in its life (Red Hermetite everywhere, the crank breather rotor was missing!!! and there were shims in the wrong place)
