[DeTomaso] Fidanza Aluminum flywheels $185 on ebay

I'm a little leery of cheap eBay products these days, there are too many Chinese knock offs that are visually correct right down to SFI certification, packaging etc.

I have encountered OMP Safety harnesses and a Sparco race seat, both verified by OEM to be fake knock offs.

That’s a great deal. I have one in my car.

Be advised that the holes for the pressure plate aren’t countersunk deep enough. The shoulder of the bolts will bottom out in the hole before the pressure plate is tight against the flywheel—no bueno.

It is a matter of a few minutes to set it up in a drill press and drill the countersink holes just a bit deeper. Works perfectly after that and the price is right especially here!

The friction surface is painted green. I don’t know why. I washed it off with lacquer thinner before assembly so it was bare metal, as you would ordinarily expect. There must be some reason they paint it—could it be that it helps break-in? Or are you supposed to remove it, as I did?
