It's the wrong (i.e. smaller) size and this one is the correct 228mm version.
Yep. It has a 1700 or 1800 clutch...too small. Because the flywheel is the wrong one.
Don was kind enough to donate this for cost of shipping.
Sorry I didn't get back to you...I got pretty busy with some stuff. Haven't even checked email in almost a week.

I spoke with Bill today and he's got the flywheel I sent, new clutch, and new pressure plate installed and everything back in the Bus (but not running just yet).

He said that his old flywheel and the one I sent were the same outside diameter, it's just that the one I sent has a larger inside diameter where the clutch disk installs. So, there should be no issues with the bellhousing or starter.

And he sent the money, for shipping he told me.
Looks like it's a go.
=D>
Now, if anyone has a line on a good, used Toyota Sienna for Bill (not to replace the Westy) 'cause... kid #4 is on the way and he needs the third row seat.
And seat belts...
And heat...
