Does anyone have a picture of a stock midget 1500 flywheel they could post. Im trying to compare to a modified one that I have. Thanks.

(Cross posted in Triumph. May get one there?)
 
Scott, take a look at the following three pictures:

The 1300 flywheel has a largely flat surface with only a slight raised surface where the pressure plate bolts. That surface is also the surface where the friction disk sits. (Please excuse the rust... we had some driving rain that splashed up from underneath the car).

The 1500 flywheel has a raised ring where the pressure plate sits. The friction disk sits in a recess below that surface.

I hope you see in these pictures what you were looking for.

EDIT: Sorry... I don't seem to be able to create dynamic links to the pictures. You'll have to cut and paste the address to a new browser window.
 
Hey... I came back to post an eBay link for you... but it looks like it's your auction! Good luck and I hope the pictures did help.

BTW, I assume your handle here means that you also like Corvairs. I have a couple of friends who are into 'vairs. While at Toys-R-Us I bought one of them a diecast '63 convertible from the Johnny Lightning collection. This year's collection from them is pretty neat.
