1972 flywheel options.

[vanbavaria]

Trying to see what my options are to replace the fly wheel on my Bavaria. Unfortunately the starting ring gear is developing flat spots. The M30B30 is paired with the original BW 65 three speed auto transmission.

Real oem calls for part number

11221253633​

It’s then superseded by

11221262617​

Looks like finding a new one or good used one can be complicated. Anybody deal with the issue of replacement and have any pointers.

I’ve attached a photo of the original flywheel with measurements

If you are set on souring a used or new one try contacting TomHom from the forum or LaJolla Indep down in San Diego.

Thanks for reaching out, I’ve had a couple guys from the e9 side who might have what I’m looking for. La jolla is always a great source though!

If you really get stuck, remove the ring gear and reposition it An engine will stop in 6 spots, you can move it so it has 6 new spots

Thanks, Rick

Ooops should have read it better, you have an auto ring gear is part of the flex plate
What about a flex plate from a 530, 533, 535 or 6 or 7 series
