    More progress on the storage cubbies/sleeping platform. Two sheets of 3/4" maple ply cut to spec for a base, now it's a matter of bolting them to the body and mounting 2x8 supports with a final 3/4" sheet on top for the platform.

    So, tomorrow I will be working on sleeping platform version 4. And, even after 4 versions, my cuts will not be anywhere near the Precision of yours! Well done, sir!

    That's what I'm here for, the mods and the gear.
    I was just about to ask this. Because if you google it, you get a bunch of "Itsa me, Mario!" stuff. :p

    Get this flywheel resurfaced or no. Generally I've always have had them ground when doing a clutch. But I hit it with some scotch bright and it looks really good, can still faintly see the factory grinding marks.17,800 miles and there were no hot spots.

    Not trying to cheap out just really on the fense if it's worth it.

    Opinions?

    I’ve heard of some people slapping it on a flat piece of glass with some sand paper on it. Then ever so gently give it a “resurface”

    With such low mileage, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as it looks good, and there's no sign of any warping.

    I've heard of that also, but this flywheel has a raised step where the pressure plate mounts.
    I was going to check it with a set of precision ground parallels we have at work to make sure it's flat.

    I'm leaning towards just slapping it back on.

    Since you already have it off take it to a shop and get their option. But then again I'll say what I say at work. "If it's shinny it's good".

    Yolo obviously.

    If it's concerning you (which it might), have a shop you trust take a look and provide an opinion/quote. Sometimes the peace of mind is worth it.

    I’m usually of the opinion that might as well replace it since it’s already apart

    but that looks just like new to me. I’d put it back in.
