Yup stock 215mm, I put a new kit in. Going to take it all off before I ruin it from slipping too much, I would then basically have enough bits for a future 4 speed conversion for another 123.
I was browsing for 240mm clutch bits after getting some advice from F.R.A.S and come upon a SPEC clutch kit rated for 440 ft-lb (~590Nm) meant for a BMW 535i. 240mm sinter. It was $140 USD unused 2nd hand as opposed to $490 new, a no brainer really, over here LS clutches are too big and Jap clutch kits (RB26 etc) are $800-1400. Going to get the oldest of my 3 617 FWs machined to fit it and rebalanced. Will be interesting as to what weight it is because the BMW flywheel is flat. Might have to get weights added to the PP again.
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000
2001 2.8TD Rodeo 4x2 - 456,000 - DD
I do get really bad vibes just off idle (shakes entire car side to side) but above that you can't feel much. The flywheel balancing guy said lightening the FW as much as I did it would be impossible to get it perfect, the original FW was quite off balance and he ended up welding a weight onto the pressure plate (visible in a pic above). Wish I had a neutrally/internal balanced engine. Hope my turbo engine is...
