Ring your local clutch shop - I'm guessing they'd know who to talk to.

Give Northern Brake and Clutch a call. Look them up. They were in North Melbourne, buy have recently relocated. Had them do some work for me. They know their stuff and are quite reasonable. They also have a HUGE range of tools and machines on site.

Just as a guide ... last time I had it done it was $60 for refacing the clutch surface plus another $20 for shaving off the lip. 5 years ago, don't know which workshop (Mania sent it out for me)

Brooker Brakes in West Ryde are awesome. It cost me around $40 to get a flywheel machined. They also deck engine heads.

I think if you shave the lip the fly needs to be balanced as well.

Yeah mania have some na8 and na6 flywheels going cheap on eBay

I was thinking I would buy one and get it machined ready to go.

There is a bearing making more and more noise in my 1995 na8, so I think I might need to bite the bullet and do it.
