hey guys.

I am currently looking to buy a flywheel gor my td42 gq. I have found a few tb 42 ones and someone thats not sure if it was diesel or petrol. I was just wondering if they where interchangable? Or how to tell the difference between the two.

Any help would be appreciated. Or anyone that has a td42 flywheel they willing to sell can you please let me know

cheers matt

Yep I wouldnt mind knowing as well, I am planning a diesel conversion soon and want to use my heavy duty clutch and flywheel from the tb42.

One bolt hole offset

So I can use the tb bellhousing and flywheel and drill the new hole, bolt up a td starter and were all good?

Ok I picked up a second hand TD42 starter today from the wreckers, Its way bigger than the TB42 with the extra hole as I expected.
Is it really a simple extra hole to be drilled into the bellhousing? or should I just get the TD42 bellhousing.?

td42 starters are reducten drive from memory, so thats proberly why its larger. also area 3 bolt whereas tb42 is 2 bolt.

i remember reading on here about the extra hole needing to be drilled and tapped.

I have a spare tb starter in the shed and I lined them up together today and wow the td is way bigger :shock:

Drilling and tapping is no problem, it just looks like there might not be enough room to get the bigger starter into the bellhousing??

anyone actually drilled this,???? I dont mind having to get the die grinder out as well if I have to.

I did the same thing when I did my TD42 conversion, I had a TB45 gearbox and just drilled/tapped the holes no sweat.
