Later Lotus flywheels do fit, although no idea up to how far that goes. They look about the same, I doubt they are much lighter. The biggest advantage is that they have a shoulder to keep the ring gear in place. On the JH, the ring gear just sits there and gets pushed back by the starter over the years to the point that it will eventually not engage and need to be repositioned. Complete failure on the design on that one. When I rebuild an engine, I take the flywheel to a machine shop and have them spot weld it all around and get it balanced.
