original GP clutch components were nitride hardened. Just try scratching an early LI and then a GP crownwheel to see how they differ......Mel K wrote:Cheers mate, but was does nitrided mean?

ScootRS never have any in stock, maybe someone waved the legal stick around?

I don't think its anything legal with ScootRS, I mailed them a couple of months ago about the spiders and they said they would have more in stock a couple of weeks later, but obviously they aren't ready yet. They are just slow getting their finger out.
I have bought a MB clutch from Scooter Center instead.

The mb clutch spider is in stock, it has sold well and we are having the 2nd batch machined at the moment, the price at scooter centre is being revised as it should reflect the price we sell it for, give or take depending on the exchange rate and delivery costs, any problems anyone has with finding parts please let us know by phone or email and we will pass on the part number, I have just searched on 'clutch spider' and found it straight away on our shopping site.

Just to let you all know, ScootRS now have the spiders back in stock. Not that I think anyone should buy anything from a plonker like Randall.
