If you do could you measure the id of the center hole where it centers on the crankshaft ? I would prefer a factory Ford one but aftermarket is fine as long as you know it goes on the crank properly. I need a pretty accurate measurement. Within .001 if possible.
I am having a "disagreement" with a flywheel manufacturer.
Thanks,
Bill
Any of you guys have an F.E. Ford manual flywheel sitting around ?

BillK , I don't have any dimensions for FE , BUT I balanced one about 6 months ago and the new flywheel was loose on the crank hub , the customer asked if we could help fix the issue as he had no way to purchase a new one . I just prick punched around the flywheel enter ID and it fit much better , NOT perfect but much better , then we marked the timming of the wheel to the crank so it went back on in the same position.

The factory spec for the crankshaft pilot diameter is 2.499/2.500, add what ever clearance you want to it.

Do you have that dimension in print somewhere ?
The flywheel I have (new billet) measures 2.495" The flywheel manufacturer insists that is correct but it obviously is not. What is really disappointing is that I called three other very well known manufacturers and none of them could give me their dimension ??
I have two FE cranks and they both measure 2.500"
