Fitting 12volt flywheel int a 6volt gearbox

[Carl]

My flywheel has had it, a larger number of the teeth have been chewed, so
that every once in a while I'll try to start the car when thr starter motor
teeth are over the damaged area, and I get a horibble grinding noise. I've
been lucky enough to have been given an excelent confition flywheel to
replace it. The problem is that my car (a '66 bug) has a 6volt gearbox and
new flywheel won't fit. So I need to grind out the protruing parts of the
belhousing to clear it. Does anybody have any recommendation as how to best
do this?

The RAMVA pages suggest installing the flywheel on the engine, losely
mounting it up to the box starting it up and using the new flywheel to grind
away the softer gearbox metal by gradually tightening up the engine studs as
it's running! Is this really a good idea!!

Failing that does anybody want to sell me a decent 6 Volt flywheel? - I'm
located in the Bedford Area

Yes, that works. Otherwise you'll need some kind
of powered die grinding tool.

(I assume you have already converted the car to 12 Volts.)
Besides the new 12 V starter you'll need, don't forget to
swap out the little bushing in the bellhousing; 6V is different
from 12V. There is a conversion bushing available.
Better yet, find a starter from an auto-stick; they're
stronger and don't need any bushing.

Try hiring a copy editor to make sure what you advertise makes sense.
Posting "Re: Fitting 12volt flywheel int a 6volt gearbox" in a largely
air-cooled VW newsgroup sounds pretty stupid. Neither flywheels nor
gearboxes have anything to do with voltage, especially for air-cooled cars.
