Re: weight difference between A12 and A15 engines
Putting the A12 flywheel on the A15 should make the difference minimal.

I thought both flywheels were very similar in weight. Although the A12 flywheel is easier to lighten.kb110 wrote:Putting the A12 flywheel on the A15 should make the difference minimal.
