whilst i've got my side casing off i am planning to chuck in some new clutch plates.
i ordered some surflex plates online and was given the option for a couple of quid to have "race" plates,
i have received them and was going to put them into soak tonight, when i looked at the packet they are labelled as "1062-c",
in stickys book he says to never use these as they are crap!
have i been sold a set of duff plates?

It would appear tobe the case. Adige clutch plates are the way to go. ;)

i ve got surflex 1062 b in my 3 ts1 engines and have never had any clutch issues
gp200 box 19x46 taffspeed exhausts (and a fresco) with mb springs

just fitted a surflex green set (not sure of ref number) to TS1 engine for a friend (again used mb springs) as part of a full rebuild and he burnt clutch out on way to scarborough from mansfield while running in - he provided the green ones they werent my choice

BEST OF LUCK
