Ive been messing about with this design for a bit now and finally got off my bum and finished it , motorcycle type clutch plates are used and larger diameter springs , ive managed to get 6 plates with a slight mod to the sidecasing but this would be overkill for most lambrettas as the 5 plate would cope no problem ( this needs no mods ) , the 6 plate is off to mark in norwich to put in his dac (38bhp ) to push it to its limits and to find any problems ( or not i hope !!!) , as i see it the 6 plate should be required by very few ,ie dac , 30+ bhp motors with the 5 being ample .................

below is the machined spider to take the motorcycle springs with the lambretta ones next to it ......

extra long basket to get 6 plates in

Ive tried to do this as cheap as possible using normal parts and fingers crossed will prove successful ... pm for more info ;)

Looks real nice that!!

Can you post a picture of a plate against a typical lambretta plate to compare the actual surface areas....?

Cheers Adam.

hi dan , about £230 with an exchange sprocket , ie a series 1/2/3 with the riveted castle or £ 250 outright which compared to other motorcycle types comes in at the bottom end of the market
