Clutch and pressure plate options?
What say thee experienced Vee racers?
I know there isn't super extreme stress's that are being put on the clutch system but I'd think they are
more extreme than a daily driver putting around town. Are there any preferred clutch discs and pressure plates that everyone
likes to run?
Thanks in advance.
Clutch and pressure plate
BBW:
I personally have only used the three finger since they were available to me so I can not comment on differences other than cost.
The three finger is a few tenths lighter, but the machine shop that does my balancing prefers the diaphragm. Says they are easier to balance with the flywheel.
I have a limited supply of the three finger and when they are gone, the only alternative will be the diaphragm style.
Over the years I have seen a number of people pop the center disc off the three finger when they installed their engines. The disc gets caught on the input shaft and they don't notice until they step on the clutch. Can't happen with the diaphragm plate.
A recent build on my son's car and we used the diaphragm pressure plate.
Hope that helps you decide.
