How much taller are they and dont they lift the driven plate out of the sprocket ?
Also wont they make the driven plate touch the kickstart ?

Yes they do. I purchased one ages ago and ended up binning it. It's hard enough fitting a standard clutch in without it rubbing, let alone an extended one. If you want to go down the 5 plate route, get the Readspeed 5 plate kit. I've got one in my 20 bhp Imola and its spot on. At under £50 they are brilliant value for money.

If I'm to be honest, I'm not sure. They may work with an extra thick side case gasket, as supplied by Cam Lam, but other than that, I'm stumped.....

Unless you mean the spider? That's currently located 20ft under my local land fill site.
