I have searched and found a lot of people have fitted these items made by rich w, I'm having trouble finding where to go to purchase these items could anyone direct me to where I need to be or has rich w stopped making them?
Thanks

Hello! I have one. They are still around but are obviously quite expensive being low production items. The quality is awesome though.
Im not sure the crank pulley is actually any lighter. Im not sure if RichW is actually LynxEngineering or not. Richard Walker is the full name i believe. Ill PM you the number i have saved for him.

I have one from pug1off they are made by Stew at baker bm. Perfect fit and finish, and cheaper than richw's

The Flywheels are a bit hit and miss. Some get on with them fine. Some destroy them quickly.

ive got a light flywheel here too if you want me to weigh it?
22-10-2014, 07:27 PM
The lightened flywheels come in different weights.
5kg and 7kg iirc, standard is about 11kg 
22-10-2014, 07:55 PM
nope, std is 6.5, ttv is 3.8 for std clutch.
200mm clutch is 3.5, 140mm clutch is 2.6kg.
need a part number? http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ and http://service.citroen.com/ will sort you out.
Standard flywheel is 6.5 yes?
How do you destroy a flywheel? You mean crack it?

All the flywheels come from TTV Racing, Front Pulley's are Rich, Spox or BBM,
I know the SPox one is almost twice the weight of Rich's one having weighed them, No idea on the other thou

i run standard flywheel lightend from 6.5 to 4.1 kg,is not that dangerous for standard flywheel ?

The lightened one weighs 3,9 so I'd not complain too loudly about 4,1 :-)

There's two types of RichW flywheel...
There's a gen1 flywheel which seems to have the wrong tooth spacing and you hear it every time you start one with one in, sounds like it's just sheared the teeth off 'cause they're wrong! The gen2 one seems to be OK though... Anyone know roughly how much the TTV flywheels are?

Also the gen 1s did used to strip their teeth eventually.
TTV flywheels are a shade under 250 I think
