About 3 years ago I got a real heavy duty unit made up by Clutch Systems at 164 Hazeldean Road. Cost me less than $400 for disk and cover from memory. They'll supply engagement bearing and spigot etc as well. I found the guys good to deal with and with plenty of expert knowledge. If you are going to run bigger tyres, or up the horsepower I would recommend a stronger than standard clutch.

Strange how it just gave up the ghost. Will be interesting to know what you find when you strip it down.

the extra money is worth it to put a heavy duty clutch in when you do it, dosent cost much more to get the flywheel ground while its all out too.
