f***ing five plate?

[mickdale]

took my 5 plate clutch out as it was slipping

5 x surflex corks @ 2.5 thick
steels @ 1.2 thick
2.5 top plate
total 23.5 mm thick whole clutch inc bottom clutch flange

got a five plate clutch kit, soaked corks then went to put in and it wouldnt even go down so i could get the clutch circlip on

no room for movement there then

had a look and the surflex corks are a whopping 3.63mm thick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it just my set up that is shite or are surflex b corks that are 3.63mm ick the problem????

[mickdale]

Is it s five plate spider ?

er no.....

if i find one and put it in will the clutch foul the kickstart mech?

ps where do i get one from

[fred]

3.5mm is standard 4 plate thickness(14mm for 4 plates)to fit 5 standard surflex plates,ie the ones used in 4 plate clutches you'll need an extended spider,and an extended clutch bell.
I'm using a scootrs spider with a 5 plate crownwheel,and a mb bell. Doesn't foul on anything.

[mickdale]

phew - so i can do it with a longer spider and clutch bell

fred - did u get the scootrs spider from viet or uk source?

I'm using the scootrs crownwheel and spider and a deep bell from beedspeed. It all works well together. You should be able to source the whole lot from the UK.

or go thinner steels.
I have a surflex b (3.5mm thick) 5 plate with 1mm steels and standard crownwheel, scoot rs spider and intermediate length uprated springs.
