I have read that the early convert flywheels had a tendency to crack apart.
I believe they even had a recall on this problem. I would check guzzilogy.
As for the tank, I do not see why a custom one would not work. You might
look at some custom oil tanks like those used on the old brit bike choppers

Subject: Convert Questions
| I asked these questions on the Convert Yahoo List but thought I'd ask here also since that group is still kinda small...good group though, so join if you're into Converts(http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/MGconvert/) Anyway, here are my questions.... 1. I have a perfect earlier/light flywheel that I'm thinking of using on my Convert Custom...Guzzilogy says that the bikes are quicker with the light wheel...also more fragile...anybody else have experience with both the heavy(which I also have)and the light flywheels? My project will probably weigh a couple hundred lbs less than a stock Convert... 2. Any reason I can't build a custom tranny fluid tank for my Custom...would the quantity that it holds have to be the same or could it hold more tranny fld?
