have machined a crownwheel that has 30mm depth and tegether with a foxhat style spider i bought it should be able to fit 5 trad plates or 6 thin plates
the problem i have is the springs are becoming coilbound at approx 16mm which is not allowing me to fit the last cork
any ideas anyone

solved the issue by cutting one coil of the springs i had, unfortunately the pressure plate then hit the nut on the xmas tree
shame as still had 3mm of depth unused for the pressure plate to sit in , really needs a modified pressure plate as well to work with 5 standard plates, but can see that it is achievable

david, what spider are you using, af,uprated springs are not for use in a FOXHAT spider,use af,gt springs. also your issue with depth, we have a pressure plate to deal with that.
