Has anyone ever used a c50 Gearbox with a Smallport flywheel

Postby B1NZ » Mon Jun 07, 2010 11:35 am

Is this possible? I have a C50 G/B and am trying to mate it to a Redtop Smallport using the 212mm C52 Flywheel clutch.

Are there any differences in the bellhousings apart from the starter motor Bulges? Will I need to use the Bluetop flywheel and clutch?

Cheers :-)

I think you need to grind the part of your pressure plate that will jam on the bellhoushing down , otherwise you will have to remove the gearbox again and do it :oops: opps, too late
Otherwise it worked well :lol:

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Thanks to Andrew, John and Matt for the helping hands, And Webster for supervising :-) And a big Thankyou to Cam for building the engine, I think there's something wrong though, it doesn't smoke like it used to?
