I picked up off a well know online auctioneers, what was supposed to be Taffspeed 5 plate clutch, i got 4 steels and 5 plates which look like carbon fibre, green colour with surflex stamped on, nothing like ordinary cork ones and the springs. a) does this sound complete? I thought a top plate should be there, and wondered slightly as they had minor surface rust. The seller said they were bought for a project but not used, they were cheap enough so i thought i best get em. Got a basket which certainly looks higher but again how can i tell if this is ok?


Also, if i was to use these as I am in need of a 5 plate due to an imola being used in the engine build, what else do i need, eg crown wheel?? Will my gp top plate suffice?

thanks guys

Sounds like they're the "Green" racing corks not carbon. The steels will go rusty if not coated with oil, it's not a problem and the idea is that you reuse your own top plate hence 5 corks and 4 steels. The corks and steels are thinner so should fit in a std set up.
