Button Clutch

Post by funkydato »

Does any of you guys know where & possibly how much a button clutch would be for a a12, if a good price want to chuck one in my ministock, too slow off the start.

I couldn't tell you that myself. But when I spoke to Tony at clutch systems NZ ltd, (He's qute a GC) he said my clutch (200mm L series jobbie) was too small to make one for, and not garantee it wouldn't fail cos it was so small. As such he said he wouldn't make me one. (And he said if I could slip the mean clutch he did sell me, that he'd go me halves in having a button made specially)
So given that the standard A series clutch is so small (180mm) you might be shit out of luck.
Still, it wont cost you anything to ring them and ask though. Tony is a pretty good dude to deal with.
Are you allowed to go bigger in the clutch, or are you stuck with the factory size? It's not a biggie to have the F/wheel machined to take a 200mm plate.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

Had button clutch in my ministock and was demmed illegel by our local scrutineer as it wasnt an original pedal box system.
So had the mechanic get it as close to it as he could. because of my fake knee
