Default Flywheel

I'm in the process of changing my clutch and not convinced with how the flywheels looking. Opinions please, would you leave it as it is, take it off and get it resurfaced(although sure I read somewhere poss the workshop manual that it wasn't recommended) or replace. I'm also in the middle of installing a supercharger and the amount I'm spending seems to be going up by the min so I'd ideally not want to be spending anymore than I have to, but also don't want to cut corners at this stage.

Photos to follow, best quality I can manage under the car in the garage

It was the little bit of sort of crazing if you look to the outer edge of pic 2 that I was slightly concerned with. Would you not even have it resurfaced then?

You should have said, ive got a spare flywheel hanging up on the floor and getting in the way, I could have sent it to you with the crank pully spanner.

77k on it by the way. Wasn't having any issues with the clutch prior, just up grading prior to the charger going on. I'd had two slight slips from it on track from 3 to 4th but that was after a fair stint pushing it pretty hard

The flywheel looks normal for a used one.

There looks to be a fair bit of rust dust close to the centre though, check the spigot bearing is nice and smooth and not dried out.

Its only done 6500 miles, so its like new, I can post it out to you but it will be quite expensive as they are bloody heavy.
