Mine came from Mr. Webber of Malvern Racing. He advertises in the SCCA
Sports Car magazine, and he ordered it from Tilton in California. It
consists of a single wafer disc and a small harmless looking diaphragm
pressure plate. I have been using the stock diaphragm throw out bearing with
a fabricated 3" distance piece between the forks and the bearing.
A smaller throw out bearing was furnished, which I should be using, but my
machinist has not as of yet made me another distance piece for it. The
clutch operates sort of like an on-off switch -- have to be careful while
driving in the paddock.
Is this the best setup? I do not know. You supposedly can get a skinny
steel flywheel, which is not much heavier than the aluminum, and will hold up
better.
