Do I need a new flywheel?

[Donald360]

I have a new clutch kit, endfloat shims, oil seal, spigot bearing and felt washer. Looking for advice on whether this flywheel is still ok or should be replaced.

Thanks
Donald

Give it a clean up with some 180grit, no cracks it’s fine , it does look pretty good

Looks OK. Just looks like the melted resins from a slipping clutch, clean them off with some emery cloth and then check for any cracks like this.

Replace the starter bush while you are there?

Cleaned it up and it's looking fairly ok, no cracks that I can see and only a slight wear ridge at the inner and outer edges of the friction plate. Thanks for the tip re the starter bush.

Am I right in thinking that the felt washer fits in the centre of the flywheel? If there was one originally, it disintegrated long ago.

Cheers

Yes, it is to stop clutch dust getting into the spigot bearing
