Thanks Basti Title: Re: Flywheel guard Post by: richie on September 15, 2013, 20:17:58 pm that's what I have as well, John is a really good guy to deal with, I couldn't get enough room to use the diaper so have a catch tray instead
cheers Richie Title: Re: Flywheel guard Post by: Andy Sykes on September 15, 2013, 21:12:51 pm Hi Richie where did you run out of room for the diaper ?
Cheers Andy Title: Re: Flywheel guard Post by: richie on September 15, 2013, 21:44:19 pm Between the chute mount frame and the dry sump scavenge fittings in the case/sump, I had to grind them anyway for room and there was nothing left to fit the diaper between them

Does this (and your) flywheel wrap have an SFI-approval? Our track here in Drachten asks for it... Tnx, Walter PS I emailed the makers and this is their eply: Yes very costly to sfi test, and most of our VW do not run NHRA, A sfi approved unit would sell for $300, $400 us The BRS series is our main sanction body.

Only other option as I see it is to make a 6mm thick (1/4") and 4" wide steel strip around the bell housing. Thats heavy though at the 'wrong' place. Such a pity. :-\ Title: Re: Flywheel guard Post by: richie on September 19, 2013, 16:04:06 pm I do have an SFI belt, but it was for the 091 box and doesn't really fit the mendeola so I got one of the FTD belts.
I dug out an old picture and it does have SFI on it, maybe ask Deist about a SFI version for your gearbox Title: Re: Flywheel guard Post by: modnrod on September 19, 2013, 21:10:22 pm S.F.I. = Sufficient Funds Injected (to NHRA) to qualify for a safety product......... ::)
Nice to see manufacturers making a quality item though, that blanket looks the goods. |
