Beefy Clutch For a Chim - what are the options?

[450Nick]

Hi all, I've had the engine taken out of my Chim for a bit of a refresh and among other knackered bits, it appears that the Helix clutch that was in there is rather blue and shows signs that its been slipping under load.

I've got a 450 with the SC Power charger on putting out around 400bhp so I'll need to replace it with something fairly manly... What are the current options for beefy clutches on RV8s at the moment, are there any good deals around? Just ordered a couple of bits to up the power further so I'll probably need something rated to 450/500 ft/lbs to be safe...

Twin plate jobbie, there's a few on here with them fitted

Aren't they an arse to drive in traffic though? If not then cool, where do you buy em?

Edit: Just found this:

I have a John Eales 500ft jobbie in mine, seems man enough and nice action too.

i use john eales ap clutch on both the Chim and the Tuscan racer !!! not problems with either i think a paddle or twin plate would be a pita

Spoke to TVR Power and they do I think the same AP one and Dom was confident that it would be fine in my application - great price too, so will go with that... Looking forward to driving it - it's been off the road for getting on for 3 years now!
