As long as you use an annular spacer to center the large center hole flywheel on the smaller crank register...

you wouldn't happen to know where to get said spacer would you? follow up question would be, how bad would it be if i just bolted the flywheel on there without it? the bolt holes are a nice tight fit on the bolts. there is no wiggle when its on there with the bolts loose.

I would not run it that way. Even a slight off axis alignment will make for a nasty vibration. I do not know of anyone who makes this part, so going to a local machinist and asking for a custom one is the likely plan.

I may have a spare small hub (stock) flywheel, but I am away on work travel for the whole next week. One from me or someone else might be the easiest path. Ping me around Nov 17 and I'll look. I won't need much for it.

Best,

Lou
