Flywheels from 20B and 13B Cosmo don't fit Tracy's redrive, and

you

can not

replace them with other 13B flywheels. I have tried.

My 20B is equipped with a 2nd gen flywheel.   Fits just fine.  Maybe I

don't understand the problem.

Tracy  (finally got electricity back)

2nd gen flywheel or 2nd gen flex plate Tracy?

Since I'm going to use the 20B starter and the 20B auto tranny
bellhousing, I must use the 20B ring gear flex plate in order

a shaft extension (unless I somehow find a similar set up adaptable to
this-Mistral's would be nice but they have a custom bellhousing machined
for a cs prop oil delivery system and a starter arrangement similar to
Tracy's, I believe.

The coming GM starter/alternator is going to solve a lot of proplems
for us. It will require an electronic control no doubt like the RX8

altenator

uses.

Mark,

I don't know if it will help, but the new bellhousing won't be that far away
and Tracy's unit will bolt straight into it  - could save a lot of work!

Also Chris Cosman is installing the original prototype bellhousing on his 20
B, ( we did a deal) it's heavier but I personally think it is stronger and
better suited to the 20 B but it doesn't look as compact as the or as light
as the new design.
I didn't know there were so many 20B's being developed.
