DMF to solid flywheel conversion?

[happyharrysco1]

is there no way to fit uprated springs in the the assembly? or even doubling them up with a thinner spring going in the middle of the larger ones.

Of the DMF? Looks tricky as the thing's riveted together, I think. But I have wondered if it could be re-engineered to be stronger in some way.

thought about tk's ed? - yeah because they build engines like bosses dont dey dough.

also if your clutch is slipping then replace the pressure plate and friction plate but, as it is id leave the pressure plate on and just buy a really good friction plate - whaaaaaaaaaaaat? How does a clutch work Stu?

You could, but it would be a lot of work . You would need to reverse engineer what is there to find it's natural frequencies and limits, find replacement springs, add mass to keep the frequency response and then find a way to fit it all together.
A major project.

Hi,

Just bought a clutch kit secondhand on ebay (I need a new flywheel and I'm not willing to pay £500).

Got it thought today and it looks different - it appears to be single mass rather than dual - I'm not complaining as it'll be maintenance free, but just wanted to confirm that was the case. Its extremely heavy - seems to be around 30kg at a guess.

I've taken a video of it to briefly show:

And this is the image from the original listing:

What are your thoughts?
