HELP! Clutch required

[robmarrs]

Does anybody have a proper AP racing clutch, the proper 500lb/ft one that the Tuscan V8 race series cars had fitted. AP are quoting 6 weeks, and my car is currently being turboed by Eann, or any other bright ideas, I have looked at McLeod 10.5 but there are no flywheels in the UK at the mo.

Getting desperate.

Hi robin, another vote for Real Steel here, I had my steel flywheel and twin plate clutch delivered in two days.

Hi Mac

I took the plunge and am really looking forward to the shove, but murphy's law has struck early!

I spoke to real steel but they have no flywheels at the moment, they never mentioned a twin plate clutch though, is that a McLeod twin plate?, Does it need a release bearing Mods, it seems from a sweep on here people have all sorts of set up issues with the slave and release bearing needing machining.

You sure a McLeod 10.5 will go in the housing?

Got a new 500 flywheel that might be spare if any use

I have no idea, but apparently so. My days of personal spannering are over, I now subscribe to cheque book engineering. Thanks for the offer, but looking plug and play really, and a 500 is no different to 400 I believe, which will need machining to get it to fit, same as mine.

Will you need a club foot to push that pedal ?

22 stone should help, hence the turbo!

I fitted one of ap's clutches to nicks sc chim running around 375ftlbs torque we cooked it in one season now fittied a triple plate sperclutch with a ttv racing flywheel but should you want the old ap one the pressure plate is fine just needs a new disc.

Thanks John, AP don't have any discs

How is this triple plate clutch on the road, and were any other mods required to fit it? I would prefer not to have a clutch that is either on or off. Did TTV supply all of it or did you source from both companies and was it of the shelf?
