I wouldn't, you'd never get it balenced. Solid flywheels make the gearbox rattle enough as it is, let alone a bodged up dual mass one.

My dad had a 2.4 years ago. He had that welded up. didn't have any problems with it but only had it 6 months after.

I was still a kid and loved it. I vowed I would have one myself one day...

thats what i thought , the balancing may be an issue ! very mixed views on this ! does nayone have a dual mass flywheel for sale ???

I know someone who welded up there dual mass on a merc sprinter is ok but get a little vibration on initial take up of drive.

I'm with Tony, I wouldn't do it either. A new Solid flywheel isn't that expensive.

Surely a bit of dynamic balancing on a welded up one doesn't cost as much as a new flywheel?

if i do weld it up is there anything too remove ?? or just stitch the outside job done ????


thanks for all the help guys !!!
