Clutch

Help

I am trying to get a hold of the correct stock clutch. Now bear in mind I am across the pond this is not easy.

Both NPD and Summit sell RAM clutches. I ordered a kit from Summit shown in the catalogue as having the correct 8 spring hub with organic friction material. I checked with Summit that the disc was as per picture and they confirmed yes it was.

So I get a 6 spring disc.

I cant seem to find out if RAM do an 8 spring organic disc.

So anyone know a part number and source for a correct clutch kit with organic 8 spring friction plate ?

Thank you.

PS I assume I am right in trying to go for an 8 spring plate ?

Mark, The 8 spring version is the correct one for your Kar. I just sent you an email on this.

there are places over here that have good reputation for rebuilding Hi-Po clutches. Do you have the old Hi-Po clutch that might be rebuilt?

Thanks Ray

I do have a correct old one. I dont know the costs involved in sending stuff back to the US for rebuild. I sent my Rally Pac tach back and that was OK. But a clutch disc is a lot heavier.

Besides Customs get all excited and want to charge you for getting your own stuff back.

I am receiving help from this forum on the matter.

Cheers

Mark

no old school gnomes doing the same thing over there ? Possibly some Aston Martin or Jag classic restoration place might give you a lead.
