Rust pitting on flywheel

[PhilM]

I wonder if somebody could give me an opinion as to whether the amount of rust pitting on the clutch contact area of my flywheel is acceptable.



It's rather difficult to capture in a photo but the damage doesn't extend all the way round.



I will need to have the damaged ring gear machined off in order to fit a new shrink on one but if the damage to this one is deemed too excessive I may need to look for a replacement rather than go to the expense and trouble of machining.



I'd be really grateful for any advice offered.

Thanks,     ..... Phil.
