The possibility still exists that the flywheel has been balanced with holes drilled from the clutch face, but its not good practice in this case as its further from the area requiring balance.

Hi Jac Mac
I won't be taking anything apart yet, the owner wishes to 'have a word' with the 'balancer' and possibly 'the fitter' first and I'm off to Longleat Hill Climb Friday for Sat competition, so nothing happening on my part before Monday.
I see what you mean about 'spacer' but I'm fairly sure that there is not one fitted and that the part you see is in fact the very back of the cast flywheel. To me it looks like possibly the fw has had LOTS machined off it's rear, too much I would guess, but I am no expert on cast flywheels.
Having said that, a badly machined spacer could give a similar effect I guess. Doesnt seem a good idea fitting a spacer behind a flywheel in my opinion, an area of critical stress... Anyone??
