A company called Autosprint in Birmingham (they advertise in all the 'proper' tuning mags.....Race and track car, Practical performance car, Retro car) whove been around forever. They charged £57 plus carriage. The guy I spoke to said it was one of the biggest flywheels he had ever seen and it only just fitted on their lathe!!!!
