    Had a rather major (catastophic) failure of the pressure plate that resulted in a few bolts being distorted on the flywheel.

    A friend fo mine (aircraft mechanic on C130s and 737s), said to just get a new part.

    But, question is, are the flywheels different for NA, Eurospec, Cats, non Cats...

    Doesn't make sense to me, but prices range from $1100 USD to $10,000 USD.

    I will also visit a machine shop to get a better picture.

    Not sure about the profile thing.
    Anyway, 1990 Testarossa, Eurospec, no cats. Aftermarket exhaust is TWS from Japan.

    The valve timing and ignition timing marks on the flywheels are different for the different versions (but I think the basic structure of the flywheel is the same and would fit any TR).

    PS Hill Engineering makes a kit to change a TR to the 512TR style single plate clutch (that includes a new flywheel) -- might be something to consider if the stock parts prices are unreasonable:
