I contacted ACT. Their hose is the same diameter as the standard 5.0 one.
My loverly corrugated one is at least another half inch larger in diameter.
The ACT one uses a reducer from the triple plenum, pointless imho.
Jools said I'm getting max power at 3/4 throttle therefor plenty of air getting there but heads not efficient enough and they're pretty much the best!

Are you buying the flywheel to save weight or for the clutch to fit .
is needed to make this new triple clutch fit, but it will definitely help as well, lighter flywheel, and the clutch is also smaller in diameter - so will spin up quicker. Overall should give some improvements on throttle responsiveness alongside having a clutch that can cope with almost anything. clutch foot pressure will be about the same as standard the real advantage is the triple plates lots of surface area and terrific heat dissipation qualities, below is a pic of the new flywheel looks almost to good to use clutch itself will be here next week but been getting on with refitting the sump with new better quality crucifix seals and starting on the water injection install, i have run the pipe from boot to engine bay although not clipped up yet and sorted how all the wiring will connect and run the line lock turned up pm as well looks a nice unit.
sorry about the missing pics they are there if you click the link anyone got any ideas on a reliable photo host just about had enough of flikr

another day at the tvr mill got the trigger wheel for the speed sensor tiged up had to reduce the slots by half as the dash pro didnt like the multi slot trigger on the prop shaft went a bit mad after 100mph so needed to get that done and repainted ready to go back on monday tuesday , also finally tightened up the sump bolts fitted the flywheel and sorted the clutch need to make a top hat bush for the release bearing carrier to fit the new 40mm i.d. bearing so coming along nicely
n.b. i need a gearbox first motion shaft as the triple plate clutch has to not only be lined up but have all the splines in line as well best route is an old gearbox first motion shaft so anyone got one to lend sell or let me steal???

got a fair amount done yesterday turned up a spacer to allow the new release bearing to fit the original carrier then shrunk it on, then built up the water injection valve and fitted that near to the injection point plus drilled and loctited in the nozzle carrier into the feed from intercooler to plenum plus figured out a route for wiring from dash to valve sensors etc and got the bases fitted to the back of the tank for the pump and water tank i also fitted the dash mounted gauge for the system and made some more turrets to mount the tank only came with two seemed a bit wobbly,all in all not a bad day.
