Thx all, I do agree welding cast & trying to reaching is a poor option. Keensert I agree is a good fix but don’t think significantly different than my fix which eliminates the extra piece of metal. No way on the drilling tapping a new pattern without a precision mill & turn table, have a horror story w a flywheel I had originally gotten w the vehicle that after several engine pulls & detective work realized it was .090 out of ci centricity causing major vibration due to out of balance condition! I did a test run & used another 3/8-16 bolt like the one I’m using in a junk flywheel I put same thread in & torqued to 30 ‘lbs w no problem. I will use the 3/8-16 bolt I modified to correct weight. 1 out of 5 of u agrees
thx Terry, u & me makes 2 outa 5, that’s 40% LOL! Thx all for comments & not spanking me too hard
! Being a machinist & having experience in dynamic balancing I believe it’ll b fine.
Best all
A
