I was a bit shocked by the opening comment on this thread where it is stated the flywheel was lightened. This is a very bad thing unless you can confirm the flywheel is forged rather than made of cast iron. Cast iron flywhells are brittle and if machined tend to literally shatter as they are stressed by the accelerative forces of the engine and decellerative forces of the clutch.
There are incredibly high forces at play when these let go, all just a few inches from your feet.
Not advised.
Make sure your flywheel is forged from EN40 or similar before taking anything off it. A forged fywheel will normally be machined on every surface.
