[DeTomaso] Techno question: aluminum flywheel washers

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

The reason for the thin washers is simpy to be sure the flywheel boltheads 
clear the clutch when the engine is hot 'n running. Your particular combination 
of parts may need 0.150" thick washers, and the next one might need 0.120".... 
or 0.090". If you feel lucky, you can try some others, with the possibility 
of pulling the ZF and re-doing if you hear noises. The hardened and ground AN 
washers have a 45 degree bevel cut in one side to clear the large chamfer under 
gr-8+ aircraft AN bolt heads. Good luck- J Deryke
