I am looking to find a suitable flywheel for my 1.8 silvertop zetec engine. Could anyone tell me if the following flywheel would be fine for my engine?

Also could you tell me if the following ARP flywheel bolts are of a decent price?

I will be ringing my local motorfactors and ford dealer at some point this week to order a clutch so would like to have a flywheel to go on my engine so I can finally install my engine/type 9 gearbox.

Im unsure if there is a variation year on year with the flywheels

With regards to the bolts i paid about £15 for standard ford ones so thats not a bad price in my book for uprated ones

i take it you have no orignal flywheel then?

1.8 cvh will fit but thay have no trigger holes so a trigger wheel needs fitting to run your crank pickup its light to

std 1.8 silvertop flywheel is what you want say if you have a 2L silvertop as the orignal is too big :D

The engine didnt come with a flywheel so I am looking to find one which will cost me the least amount of money. I currently have a 1.8 CVH flywheel, what kind of work is involved with fitting one other than drilling the bolt holes from 10mm to 11mm?

im told it fits and is light you can use the std cvh clutch and starter
problem is the zetec's have holes in the back of the flywheel used as a trigger wheel and the cvh 1.8 has a ring on the front pully what you would need to do is fit a trigger wheel to your frount pully run your ign/inj system as there is no form if distubutor for the zetec
or find a 1.8 zetec flywheel (no idea if 1.6 ones are any good?)
