KlassicMotion Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I made the mistake of thinking this would fit the L20B. I don't need it. I bought and had it shipped to me for $113. It's a stock Rino Pac flyhweel, about 23lbs. My loss, your gain. I'm moving to Alaska and I need to get rid of parts. ---Sold for $50 shipped--- Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Should fit the L20B. Link to comment
h190 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Flate rate boxes are almost always more expensive than priority mail. I guess the flat rate is more of a scam. Would you do 50$ plus shipping? Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Should fit the L20B. Nope, the bolt pattern is the same, but the crank shaft journal on the L20B is smaller than the KA. Link to comment
h190 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 If it is smaller then it should fit on the ka and l20, but an l20 wouldnt fit on a ka. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 You'd never get it center perfectly. And if you did get it centered, so there wasn't any vibration, you would be relying on the bolts alone for "shear" strength. Not a chance I'm willing to take. Flat rate boxes are only good in instances like this where you have over 8lbs of weight. Are you still interested H190? Do you want me to get shipping quotes both ways? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nope, the bolt pattern is the same, but the crank shaft journal on the L20B is smaller than the KA. That's good to know. I have KA crank and lots of L wheels just never tried it. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 That's good to know. I have KA crank and lots of L wheels just never tried it. Yeah, Your lucky I'm the one that spent the $113 to find out the hard way!!! Lucky me!! :) I'd say it might be worth putting one of your wheels up to the crank and testing it.... Who knows, maybe different years will fit??? Nissan seems to be pretty standardized, but other manufacturers have some pretty messed up interchanges. Link to comment
h190 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes I am interested, please get some shipping quotes. Thanks. Link to comment

Nissan seems to be pretty standardized, but other manufacturers have some pretty messed up interchanges. Good point! I have the KA-E crank out and a pile of L wheels. I will. OK....The KA crank has a small brass pin that fits that small hole in the picture above. But that could be removed or ignored for now. The large diameter of the end of the KA crank is the same as the L or Z series cranks. The end of the KA crank has a small 'nose' that sticks out and fits the small center hole in the KA flywheel in the center of the 6 mounting bolts. L and Z series cranks are flush and do not have this protrusion sticking out that fits into the flywheel. The hole in the L and Z series flywheels is 1.34" or there about, while the KA hole is larger. What this means is that the 'nose' on the KA crank is larger than the hole on L and Z series flywheels. A KA flywheel will fit an L or Z series crank but without grinding this nose off the KA crank or making the hole larger in the L/Z flywheels, it won't work the other way. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You lost me. I'd have to see what your talking about. What I do know, is when I put this up to my L20 crank, the diameter of the crank "snout" was smaller than the flywheel, and the flywheel would not center. That was without modifications. Now, are you saying, that with modifications, the L series flywheel will fit the KA crank? But, the KA flywheel will not fit the L series crank? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'll take a picture of the KA and the L crank ends. But yeah, the KA wheel should fit and work on an L20b. The L20b or any Z series wheel won't fit the KA crank. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Ok,... this flywheel DOES fit over the "snout" on the L crank, but it fits loosely (1/8" slop), not a "slightly" pressed fit like it should. The L crank does not have the same locating pin the KA does, and therefore, centering the flywheel on the crank would not be easy. You would also be relying on the bolts for "shear" strength. Maybe your parts are different? Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes I am interested, please get some shipping quotes. Thanks. h190, I need a zip code or city to get a quote. OR, here are the smallest dimensions I can get the wheel into with sufficient protection: 13 x 13.5 x 3 inches. It weighs about 24lbs packaged up. My zip code is: 66535. I prefer USPS, but I can take it to a UPS store or FEDEX air or ground store. Link to comment
h190 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I also prefer usps my zip code is 42544 thanks. Link to comment

Maybe your parts are different? OK the counter sunk area that the 6 mounting bolt holes are located in is 3.14" across, almost exactly the same size as the end of the KA and L crankshafts. Yours is aftermarket and may be larger as the KA crank centers on the smaller middle hole in the wheel. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 h190; For the packaging I'm comfortable shipping it in, it would cost $28.40 USPS to send it to you. I can't find the a flat rate box that is big enough even for just the wheel to fit in. So flat rate is out of the question. UPS would be $26.99...... So $75 shipped???? How does that sound?

h190 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 do you have the part number so I can 100% verify it will fit my application? Thanks. Link to comment
KlassicMotion Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, I can get the part number, but I won't be back home until tomorrow evening. The picture shows a casting number, not sure if that helps. Link to comment
