KACE was the clutch i put in mine gaz, was alright. i stripped it and gave it the once over, and replaced the the springs with X strong DR springs, as i always do on me own clutches for when i"m 2"s up. i was actually impressed by the cork plates, looked good and thick, and all the oil ways were cleaned out. the castle nut i got for it was made of chocolate though! stripped it while tightening it up. used a piaggio one i had instead.

It's a polini barrel, piston and modified head with beedspeed written on it
Are these any good ? I need it to be reliable, not bothered about going fast :D

I'd be inclined to flog the top end and fit a standard one for your requirements ,if you're after a trouble free work horse of a p2.

or look in scootering or scooter trader for 2nd hand ,usually plenty about.

Might stick with the polini as it was working fine before the clutch problems
I've stripped it down and split the case but found quite a few brass shards and flakes around. There's some in the clutch side oil seal and bearing, a huge bit was stuck in the kickstart spring.
Could it be off this ?

More than likely to be your clutch shim by the looks of it.

On your clutch backplate then a brass bush as well.
