LW Flywheel Identification
Hi all,
I recently picked up this flywheel. I will be needing a new clutch soon and like the idea of a lighter flywheel for revs and performance.
My questions are:
1) Can anyone identify the brand on this? It appears to be in the 17lb range
2) Can this be resurfaced?
3) Is there any reason I will regret doing this. A clutch job is a lot of labor and I'd be disappointed if I installed it and disliked the feeling of it.
Thanks in advance!

Look for any laser engravings around the bolt pattern, that's usually where a manufacturer's part number will be located.
As for resurfacing, you might be able to, call around to a local machine shop and have them give you a quote and look at it. I can't tell from the tiny thumbnail picture you posted but it looks like it might have a lot of hot spots on it.

Here are some better pics of the flywheel. I see no stamping on it.
I also got this clutch disk for free from a guy locally.
I notice it has 6 springs. I tend to see more 4 spring units.
I wonder what I have here and if it is a fit for me with this flywheel...assuming it can be resurfaced.
What is the difference between 4 & 6 spring clutches? Are the 6 spring Heavy Duty clutches?
