AP Clutch Max and Min thickness data from AP Racing

[aide]

I just rang the tech guys at AP Racing to enquire about the thickness of the plates in the twin palate AP Clutch Unit.

They said the each plate is 7.11mm when new (Max)

And the best way to measure the thickness is with a Micrometer as opposed to a Vernier Callipers.

This is so you can clamp the each side to of the plate together when measuring

And the point where they are considered worn out (Min) is 6.11mm.

That is a valuable piece of information for me. It gives me all the info I need to decide if I want to keep my current clutch or have it relined and what the relined thickness should be.

Just thought I'd share.

Strange... My clutch plates are 7.0mm thick after 20k..

Excellent info Aide. I've got a clutch in the garage for relining but I wasn't sure how thick to go.

Great info Aide

But I'm working on 7.00mm as a minimum worth reinstalling

Seems like I have done the right thing for a change.


For anyone who finds this thread by chance - Change the Spigot Bearing - it only costs a Fiver but failure to do so is insanely expensive
