Pulled the block apart where the gbox bolts to it.
So only the block damaged then nothing else?

As far as I know, not everybody else seems to realise the urgency of the situation. Oh the loom was damaged as well.

by how much?
182cup & 172 racecar
Not a lot. It was done by a place that build race engines.
Wanted to know power of car, what it reved to etc etc.
So not a back street outfit.

Sorry to see all this Tony. Proper job though 
I have lots of random clio bits if you need anything.
Didn't Ian's flywheel fail similarly? Obviously not quite so catastrophically though!

I've seen dozens done with no problems on various cars.. naturally if done badly I agree though.
i wouldnt risk it thought on a car and engine of this expense but would the company who skimmed it give a guarantee?

not sure what you're saying there Danny, what's actually failed first, the clutch-flywheel bolts themselves or have the threaded holes in the flywheel been stripped etc. is the flywheel still in one piece?Looks like the bit the clutch bolts to has broken away from the flywheel. Clutch attached at one side still, massive unbalance created and its sheared all the flywheel bolts.
You can see the remaining half of the thread where the clutch was attached in this

Well yes that would be the sensible assumption mate but you know what they say about assumption!

Definately, although my interest in finding the cause means we can all have a more reliable season if its something that'll affect our cars too.

What Dan is saying, I think, is that part of the flywheel where one of the clutch cover bolts goes in has come away, you can see this in the pic. This allowed the bolt to come loose. As the clutch cover moved once the bolt had gone the whole lot went out of balance and vibrated itself apart.
Bingo. Only a theory, as I only have the above pic to go on, but its logical to me, as the clutch looks still attached one side
