Default Mystery Flywheel: Who made it?

Hey all, I got ahold of this with a k20a2 trans, not 100% sure who made it. It's aluminum and the scale at FedEx tells me it's 8.4lb.



Looks like a fidanza/clutchmasters, but an hour's worth of searching didn't produce a single identical picture on the net. A couple of them came close though:
here
and here

It's got "H7" engraved by hand on the back, which seems like a code for the replaceable plate for a Fidanza, which is really similar but not 100% the same.

Any clue?

No sticker, no nothing, just H7.

my old OLD *** Fidanza 8LB AL


but notice my fidanza has 18 retaining screws on the friction surface


and this clutchmasters only has 16 screws, like yours

however the clutchmasters one is just a stock photo, and maybe the K flywheels use 16 and the H FW uses 18?

I'm thinking it's the Fidanza, since googling for "fidanza h7" finds a plate for the RSX, and "fidanza h4" finds a plate for the Prelude. Some of these stock photos don't match the actual item. Like how this should be a plate for that Prelude flywheel but shows 2 extra screws.

I think that's enough evidence to list it as a Fidanza when I go to sell it... hopefully someone doesn't prove me wrong and trash my reputation.

So obvious, can't believe I didn't think of it.
