Hmm, interesting.
I beIieve Fidanza products are Chinese-made? That’s how they are so cheap compared to established US suppliers like McLeod, Hays etc.
Not 100% sure on that, but very confident I’m right.
So a cheap knockoff of a cheap product could easily be genuine? Fidanza USA orders 1000 flywheels from the Chinese factory, they make 1500 and sell the rest out the side door?
Who knows...

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?
