clutch plate thickness

[AndyS]

Can anyone tell me how thick the thinnest clutch corks are.
I am trying to fit 6 plates into the clutch basket i have got, I have some 1mm steels and a 2.5 mm top plate.
Thanks

.....I am trying to fit 6 plates into the clutch basket i have got.....

What basket have you got?

[AndyS]

Just a standard basket, trying to get 6 in there, but dont know if it will do it.
I know the old foxhat would work, but am always trying to limit my outgoings

I dont think you can get 6 plates in a standard basket, even with FOXHAT.

Someone please jump in if im wrong, but i believe you need a 'deepened' basket to accomodate 5 plates with a normal spider, and the plates are of a thinnner variety than the standard 4 plate clutches.

Moving on, to get to 6 plates, you then also need an uprated spider (FOXHAT etc) and this would be used with the 5 plate basket and thinner plates as outlined above.

I believe you can even climb to 7 & 8 plate clutches if you combine the FOXHAT spider, an MB crownwheel and the Worb5 thin clutchplates and steels.

But i dont think you'll be squeezing 6 plates into a standard 4 plate crownwheel?? If you could....why would 6 plate conversions exist?
