BUT, there is a possibility that they still have the original 215 flywheel. You have to drop the tranny.

Just measure it. The 215mm is 8.465"(roughly 8 1/2") and the 225mm is 8.858", just under 9"

Randy,

The differance between the two is that the 225 flywheel is flat and the 215 is recessed. And these measurements are the diameter not the radius.

Dont loose those spacers. Without it, the pressure plate will sit too far away from the t/o bearing and will cause the tranny not to disengage. if thats the 215mm, racing beat no longer make the replacement friction plates. 225 is still available.
