FLywheel bolt pattern/circle ?

Does anyone have this spec ?
or at bare minimum measure it for me ?

I believe they are the same but for an MCS (R53)

Not sure what you are asking for - and not many people have access to their flywheel to measure anything on it...

What are you trying to figure out?

Well i know the flywheel has 8 bolts, so the measurement would be from center of one bolt straight through the center of the flywheel to the center of the adjacent bolt hole.

i need this measurement for a possible rwd project where i wont be using the MCS flywheel, so i need to be able to have my machine shop drill this bolt pattern on a different flywheel.

Yeah - wish I could help but again my flywheel is nicely tucked away behind my transmission. Maybe one of the vendors/forum sponsors might be willing to do you a solid. Given the cost of machining what you want though - I would be really hesitant with just measurements from someone on a forum. Check eBay - used flywheels all over the place

I understand what ya mean by trusting but for know just an approximation would help me to know if my plan will work, or if i need to go another route.

IIRC, the crank/flywheel holes are not uniform. That is, the holes only line up one specific way. So if you're thinking of turning and drilling your own part, you'd best get a flywheel or crank to use as a template.

I have my old flywheel in the garage so I can give some inexact measurements with my tape measure.

Filmy is correct though, the holes aren't uniform.
