Hi everyone im new to this forum, i was just wondering if anyone could help me with getting my flywheel lightened. Whether you know anywhere in Berkshire, which is where i live or somewhere i could send it to, to get it lightened. Thanks, Guy :)

Wouldnt be much point on a rox (if that is wat you have im only saying that because of your name) as the water pump runs of the fly wheel you could always replace with a electric pump this would also take more load off the crank.
The lightening could be done by moast people with a lathe but i would sudgest shiny red or others that already provide the service as they have experience doing so.

Yah i understand that, i was thinking of getting an inner rotor kit but its just the fact that some dont power lights and if they do then its not giving the full power to the engine so theres not much point considering the price aswell. So i thought the cheapest option would be to lighten the flywheel. im also not to kean on the inner rotor kits as for racing the water pumps are fine but unles you spend a 150 or something like that on the bosch water pumps they just break as my mate bought 2 of the reich water pumps for about 40 quid and they both melted !! thanks for helping :). I know a precision engineer which made a metal water pump drive which are normally plastic for my mate . Like an exact replica. So i will ask him if not i will ask the people you suggested on the forum :)

bosch pumps are cheap got mine for £30 of ebay id sugest that way tbh if you dont want a inner rotor you could also modify the stator plate for more performance but you would have to read up alot on ignition tuning to understand what to do

okay well when i looked they where about that price, guess you were lucky and do you use the water pump for everyday use ?

I havent used it yet tbh as im to lazy and always working alot of people use them but not sure on every day.
I got mine from this guy.
