Hi Chris,
Pretty sure my 164 flywheel is without any trigger pattern, & as such will have the material missing for balancing, so no way to fit the trigger ring.
Some triggers are bolted on, this is the DMF flywheel i sent to ttv when they made my new flywheel - Definately a bolt on type....

...that's half my suspension budget...Well, probably not, but I am really trying to do this one on a budget this time. Interesting variation in the DMFs isn't it. Maybe as yours was a GTA it was different? Be interesting to see what the unit on the donor looks like when I get into it. I never saw any signs of triggers on 164 flywheels - they were all at the other end weren't they.
A new DMF is absurdly expensive so if it comes to it, I'll have to convert...just trying to see if I can do it on the cheap!
Many thanks Nick - will do.

I thought the flywheels would be over your budget! The one for £120 isnt a bad price though if anyone else is looking.......that's half my suspension budget...

Not sure what engine the DMF I had was off, I think it was a late 164. It came from JH's stock of usefull parts, as my GTA engine was missing the flywheel when i got it.. (GTA's dont have DMF's anyway do they!).
Plonker I am...of course the GTA is a solid flywheel. Didn't realise they started fitting DMFs that early, but then it's not a topic I've ever had much interest in until now, bit like DPFs too....another "good idea".
That £120 one isn't too bad, clutch kit can be had for £130, plus some crank bolts.
Nick, I've weakened and bought a solid FW so won't be needing that DMF now. Thank you for the offer though, jolly decent of you.
Might be worth offering it on ebay? It's a tricky one - they are flippin' expensive new, so a good used one has to be worth something....but who would want to risk having a used one fitted given all the labour involved?
No worries Chris, Ill keep it as a paper weight! Thanks for letting me know..
I can see this 'budget build' thing is going to b something of a challenge for me.....
On the bright side, I've figured out how to make use of the 166 instrument cluster. Tacho, temp & fuel are going to 'just work' as I'll be using the matching parts of course, speedo just needs a roughly 7 pulses per turn of the wheel signal. Depending on what wheels & tyres I go for, it looks like an MX5 ABS hub will work out pretty well, just need to divide the raw ABS signal by 6 and job done.
