44 forum posts 12 photos	Thanks for the comments. yes, one of my cheats on the MRM drawings, the flywheel is from a billet. Stretched my S7 and BCA to accommodate it but I am happy how it has turned out. For the first time I finish bored for the crankshaft and have been rewarded for what looks like a wobble free flywheel.

I managed to get it in good condition, looks like it is on its original belt and most importantly with some accessories including collets. I love it, only wish it was a bit bigger as we do with most of our machine tools. Andrew
