So I've found a couple flywheels on eBay, and I wanted to get some eyes on them to make sure they're correct. I'm looking for a stock 1275 flywheel for the Bugeye.

Option #1

Option #2

Neither are a particularly great deal, but beggars can't be choosers. I just want to make sure they're correct -- I had another one lined up at a great price, but then I figured out from the pics that it was definitely not for a 1275. I don't have one handy for reference.
 
The first looks correct, the second not. Always check the back. It should always look like the first one. They should always have 8 holes, 6 equidistant for the hex bolts, and 2 dowel pins that are offset so the flywheel will clock only one way.
 
Thanks Gerard. I'll grab option #1. Not a great deal, but at least I'll have one.
