Which Clutch??

[Jester7]

Hello Chaps!!
Just wanted some advice on AJP V8 clutches?? Is the AP or Raceproved the clutch of choice at the moment??

Cheers

Raceproved here. Very good!

just file the nuts, file the nuts

[itsallyellow]

Yes!!

Or you will do the job twice....... eh Julian?

I wonder how many people have the old bellhousing and havent filed the nuts? Not sure you would here it with the engine running?

The edge of the bolts that hold the clutch housing to the flywheel otherwise they catch the bellhousing. Only if you have an early bellhousing though. On kater cars its a straight fit.

Seemed to be pretty marginal to me even with the later bellhousing.

According to Clever Trevor, Raceproved clutches are no longer available untill a new model is released. The projected release date seemed to be uncertain.

Thanks for all the replies Tanguero i spoke with Clever Trevor today who told me the end of March for the release of the new clutch???? Trouble being my project is near completion, i dont really want to wait unless i really have to specially if there is an equivalent product on the market (its been a LONG time ) I have heard that the AP clutches have been modified to be 'as good' as Raceproved??? Decisions decisions!!!!!!

I didn't want to wait either and ended up (somewhat reluctantly) going with a new standard clutch from TVR Power. I have to say that their level of service was superb.

I wonder what the changes on the 'new clutch' are?

[Jester7]
