Nylon fitted and routing fine, I can only assume he was sent the wrong springs :?

I'm going to be fitting the same set up as JIMS in the race scoot but I'm also building a Rapido 250 that I'm putting one of the SSC motor bike clutches into, despite my reservations on it's build quality.
Funilly enough the one person who looked at it at Wicksteed (a well known top tuner who has his own clutch on the market) who I expected to tear it apart, was the one person who thought it was fine. Not sure at the moment which oil to use with it.

The one I'm using is made by morris-lambretta who posts on here. Thinks he's from Thailand and makes the clutches for SSC.

i'm like you shocky... when i first built my ts1 i went through clutches every 100 miles so got in touch with jem booth who told me to put an original italian spider in because they are cyanide hardened (marked with a triangle on the underside)... managed to prise one off jem and rebuilt clutch using surflex b plates (4) and taffspeed uprated spings.... clutch was in for 3 years attending loads of runs and rideouts mostly 2 up for a full year .. never held back on the power and alot of the rideouts were up hill and down dale... only replaced the plates for this year because i felt i had to not because they were knackered....

Must've been supplied with the wrong springs, they've now been changed and it's much lighter.
