Waiting for the flywheel. Here is a mockup of the starter mount.

I got the flywheel back from the clutch and brake place. The aluminum spacer was fine. I assembled the parts and mounted the flywheel. I was also able to cut out the 1/4" plate.
First Test fit |

Do you plan on balancing the assembly?

Dang that turned out nice! Boxster trans matted to a 928 engine.....has to be a one off! So I was thinking about this whole design early this morning and I think I am working on a redesign already. More to come. Reminds me of the project creep that can annoy and satisfy. Good luck! |

I already scrapped the 1" adapter I spent a month sourcing materials, chasing parts, and cutting the dang thing out. But hey, I learned alot and had to re-remember what I did way back in 2003 when I started this thing. What triggered the redesign was the thread on the failed clutch on the LS Boxster post. I did a search on line and see the flywheel for the LS has a very extended "HAT" I will call it. So I took some measurements for what I currently have and figured out a way to extend mine without moving the flywheel out away from the block. I even called Kennedy to see if they would attach their part to my flywheel. I received a very cold reception and answer. So much for the easy route. |

I have an issue with Kennedy too.
Inquired about getting an adapter ring spec'd for the 3.5 timing plate and they said they had a new design and I would need a $900 flywheel made. So I fiddled with it more and all I needed to do was rotate the ring 45*. Then I decided to postpone the upgrade and mount the 3.5 to a subaru trans instead. Sorry I can't offer more help, I have no idea how all your stuff fits together... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I was super impressed you got it done the first time. |

I have been doing more research on the factory style Boxster clutch. I realized they have a duel mass flywheel. I read that and asked myself " what the heck is a duel mass flywheel?? I called Clay and asked him. He described it as two discs with rubber between them. I thought What the Heck, What if I design something similar without the rubber. So I cut out a second 1" disc and used a 1/4" plate and ended up with the exact measurement I needed to install the transaxle without surgery.

Hey Rick , your gunna love this. When I was sophomore in HS my father put a Jag clutch disk on his '56 AH 100. He was fallowing Carol Shelby's example of a 260 ford AH hot rod. I think you can do almost anything you can imagine. Come on, the slippers use counter weights and multiple plates. I have a slipper in a sandrail that used shimmes to space the pressure plate from the flywheel.
Do you still have your 100S? |

This is seems to be a never ending project. I sold the 100-4 several years ago and spent the money to purchase the Raspberry 914. I would love to here those new traps! Miss you my friend. Hope our paths cross again some day. Drive it like you stole it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Finished the flywheel today. I cut the center out of the 1/4 steel spacer and the second 1" aluminum spacer ring and used my router to finish the aluminum to size. I still need to send it to get balanced but this is a major hurtle.
I finished the adapter plate tonight and bolted the transaxle to the engine. |

Working on the starter mount tonight. I may end up using the botched 1" adapter plate after all. At least the bottom section... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
