I have both a counterbored and none counterbored 1929 flywheel. Which should I use? Is one better? I will be using a new clutch plate from the Filling Station. (I am assuming that the counterbored flywheel has only a circle machined out a little larger than the clutch friction plate while the uncounterbored wheel friction surface is several inches wider.)

Two 1929 flywheels were available. The first could be used with the floating clutch discs. It had a machined surface of a little over 9" for the clutch plates to fit into and be retained. The other has a 10+" machined surface and was used for riveted clutch discs only. The earlier could also be used with the riveted disc. I would use the one that has the better teeth on the ring gear.
