| It is my understanding that Velvet Drive Trans MUST be used with a Standard Transmission type Flyweel. "Hays" is a popular manufacturer. Search "Google" to find best deals or check Auto Flea Markets for used. |

| You need a marine type flywheel. Also, you need to check if it is an internally balanced engine, in which case you need a balanced flywheel, or and externally balanced engine which needs a matched flywheel.

| And if using a top mount starter (please do  ) the ring gear must be on the aft end of the flywheel vs. auto type which is on the foreward end.
