Hi Crash,
There are several solutions you could use.
Your original problem may be that the disc supplied to you is the same
diameter as a 1275 disc, 6 1/2 inches. If you are running this with a
1098 clutch cover, with a 7 1/4 inch diameter, you may not have had total
contact with the friction surface and consequently slippage would be
inevitable.
Continuing to use the 1098 cover you could try a Datsun disc, part number
C1010M-C9900VW. This has the correct hub for the 210 5 speed input shaft
and the disc has a diameter of 7 1/8 inches by 1 1/8 inch wide facing.
If you want to continue using the supplied disc that you got with your
kit, then have your existing flywheel refaced, and redrilled to accepth
the 1275 cover.
The best solution is to have you existing flywheel refaced and redrilled
to the Datsun clutch cover. This will give you bullet proof clutch parts
that will outlast your brit pieces by a long shot. I do this proceedure
for $85.00 to your flywheel.
Best, Paul
