Hello all. Clutch went at Abingdon yesterday. Lots of smoke and slipping, but definitely not the right kind.

My problem now is getting hold of the right clutch. My car is an ex-racing, K-series R400 with caterham 6 speed gearbox. Updated last year with a 2.0 K-series upgrade from VGK in Spain (why the mechanic didn't change the clutch when fitting the engine is beyond me...). So, the issue is, what clutch should I use and where do I get it from?

Any help would be gratefully received - hoping to get another track day in before the end of the season!

EBR, get an AP Racing Clutch -- nothing finer. Whilst you're replacing it, put in a new CRB (Clutch Release Bearing) as those can be The Weakest Link and they're an engine-out job just like a new Clutch is.
