It now has alloy plates machined both sides and is 200gms lighter. In the next week I'll be sending out the new plates and instructions to people who have them FOC. There were also some improvemets that I've included on the latest CAD executables on the web site (in the big water cooled engine assembly), namely 8 plate version in same foot print (it works on the CAD but I have not made one yet).

I'm just running the ones I have at the moment. It is a bit of a water shed which product to do next. Gearbox, clutch, big and small alloy GT with liner, new cylinder head. All costs money, all takes time. A production version of the clutch should be about £550 but that is kind of accadenmic if it isn't made in a production quantity.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
November 2009. Anyone with the surname of Barber will be fobbed off until the 1st Dec though.

Yeah, I'm interested. Due to injury I need the lightest smoothest clutch I can find and this may well fit the bill.
What is expected from MB, is this another m/cycle style clutch or a new improved Lambretta one?

Sarcasm ian
