McLeod single plate 10.5" clutch fitment

[AceOfHearts]

In case this helps anyone in the future wanting to fit a McLeod Single plate to the original flywheel you will need the flywheel redrilling for the new cover plate (Mass Racing did mine), 10mm machining off the back of the bearing carrier as the fingers sit 10mm higher than standard and 15mm length taken off the slave rod.

I also had my flywheel refaced but I guess that depends on the condition of your own.

Should be back in the road tomorrow and I am pleased to report the clutch weight is not as heavy as I was fearing!

It slips

Its a single plate so just a simple clutch

I'm going to give Real Steel a call in the morning and see if they have a twin plate and billet flywheel available as I really CBA to pull the gearbox again. I will be pushing the power limits of a single plate anyways. A bit annoying but oh well

Twin plate just ordered. Jeez they are expensive

Pretty sure it was due to the surface finish from the flywheel refacing which is annoying. We checked that the bearing carrier had clearance on fitting and it was fine.

Are you suggesting the flywheel was so polished the clutch couldn't grip it? I doubt it was that. You either had to much Tq or incorrect adjustment at a guess.

No it wasn't perfectly smooth (had texture) which was the problem. Machine shop was adamant it would be ok, I wasn't sure and it didn't pay off
