If it is of any help the SP250 flywheel has 96 teeth and the V8 saloon has 104 teeth. I think I have counted correctly.

there is a crusty looking engine currently listed on fleabay (as of April 8th '18) with a flywheel attached .. maybe the seller will spit it up ? states 'dry seized' but its obviously been sitting out in the weather .. so could be scrap.. in my area its not too costly to have them made..I live I paid $350 for one for a majestic major ( same dimensions and bolt pattern as for the 2 1/2)

Since he's asking uk£1800 for a seized engine I think the flywheel will probably uk£1000 if I ask 😂

Is the image with flywheel a majestic major engine ? I can confirm that the V8 2 1/2 saloon flywheel bolts right on to a majestic major and the ring gear matches the 4 1/2 starter.. there was still a 2 12/ V8 engine with flywheel attatched on fleabay Uk as of last week.. described as 'locked up from dry storage' with obvious weed growth around its lower portions..likely garden stored.. well overpriced initially.. then asking for 'offers' .. it may still be unsold..try a search..

Hi Sonos, I have a flywheel from an SP but I need it for my conversion from auto box, but if you would like to borrow it for measurements you would be welcome, i'm based in Shropshire, where are you from ?
Regards,
John

Hi John

That is very kind of you! I am based in Norwsy, but would probably use a UK company to make the new one. Do you have a timeframe for when you will need it back? Maybe just having you measuring the flywheel is enough as well. I will ask the company that I have in mind for the task.
