[Fot] clutch disc blow-up picture

[Rich Hahn]

 Stock Spit clutches even current heavy duty ones won't stand up to 7000 RPM.  I don't know if its the state of materials used today due to EPA regs but I ripped to pressure plate side friction material off a brand new one in less than 20 laps.  Finally went to a custom Quarter Master racing clutch and hydraulic release bearing which removed the release bearing and operating lever from the system.  Took some fabrication and experimenting but solved the problem

 Ted,
Is there a Spitfire version of this disc?
Thanks!

Torn the center out of more discs than I care to remember. Second (and last) time I ran race tires in an autocross I really destroyed it. This on a 'stock' street Spit.

A stock clutch came apart for me at an autocross about 25 years ago and looked about the same as the one that Ted sent.  I don't recall if it was a DNF.  It was a street car that I drove to the autoX.  Had to get a friend with a trailer to give me a tow home.  Merry Christmas!  Joe(B)

Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 20:28:09 -0500 I have one quite like that. Gave out after turn 11(last turn) on the last lap at the Glen a while ago.Coasted across the finish line, got the checker, and parked just before turn 1.Wasn't a DNF! Did get towed in though.Dick Stockton helped push the car into my trailer. When it was in an I was looking for a block, Dick yelled "Put it in gear!" Smart a$$ Merry Christman and Happy New Year to all.Cheers, Bill
