We removed the flywheel from the engine with a gear puller.
Used a hacksaw to remove most of the fin material.
Fabricated a tapered arbor and faced off remaining fins on the outer portion on the lathe. Decided to leave the fin detail in the center a little proud in order to avoid cutting into the center ribs.
So far so good, may need to dress up the center of the flywheel a bit.
Will start on a cover for the ignition next.
