What are the best options on a budget to stop the clutch slipping on my Mallossi 210 reedvalve.

All ideas welcome please

Old style clutch is your best bet and get it banded just in case.

As above. l run old style clutch on TS1, genuine parts, 3 plate but Malossi gold springs, not silver. Banded basket.
Not sure if they even need banding, have run without, as the top plate has the 'ears'
I never banded baskets in the 80's. It's Cosa type that suffer from clips pinging out IMHO.

You dont need 4 plates, they're a third thinner than std and the ears bend/wear easier.
Use it and see how you get on with regards to slip, then when the plates wear out go for 3 corks.
