"You know the type, where the money spent was purely visual & the internals were only fit for the skip....... :roll: ", yep, sure do.

We used to say "Chrome won't get you home" but bling has taken over.

Back to the plot:

The strongest springs I have, going on the wire diameter of 2.25 mm, are seven turns, free length 31 mm & coilbound 19 mm.

I've never used them as they need a lead/chamfer adding to the recesses of the clutch components to ease them in as the OD is 16 mm.

Yet another thing I never got around to..... :P

I have some good springs that I use in 4 plate set ups to 35hp, also retrofitted into other clutches with good effect
