clutch corks---the differences

[shocky]

I must be the only one who use indian clutch corks with good results? Call me "el cheapo" but this is all I have to say: GO INDIAN!

never had a prob with these on the last 2 ts1,s or the the last 2 rapido.s standard springs with vespa ones fitted as well yam lever 5 plate rear sprocket i just make sure that the plates separate properly and they dont bind i uses surflex steels with the thin top plate , i also make sure the sprocket and spider have 0.1 clearance as per stickys book and not the 1mm+ most seem to have, i also use an indian clutch center as there slightly deeper than other makes (got this info of ian from taffspeed) i will conced that i havent had any high power screamers but my set up is similar to what i used on a gp4 race scoot many yrs ago altho i dont know what corks i used then

I have just fitted 5 LTH plate kit, I used my old 1.2mm steels to get some more separation rather than the 1.5mm items supplied, but as recommend I fitted the 1.5mm steel with the long tags first and bent them up 45°, and they are working perfect. They are made of a brown cork and are 2.5mm thick. The only modification I carried out before fitting was to file the oil groves to aid lubrication.
Afterwords I started to think about the concept of the 2.5 clutch plate and basically came to the conclusion that the ultimate item would probably be 5 old worn Suflex B items that somebody was just about to put in the bin, just file down the oil groves get some thinner steels and away you go.

Cambridge lambretta quoted me £99 for six although im not sure if that was for the kit or not.

The kit consits of six Red friction plates, five steel plates, a top plate, five CLW competition springs, clutch half nut.
