Anyone does have OS Giken twinplate instructions?

I am just messing with mine twinplate clutch/flywheel and there are few ways how to put it together.

I would like to know which way is correct ;o)))

I've only seen pictures.
Your assembly looks good to me.

What happened?
It looks like the plates slipped & burned.

Anyone else see any problem here?

Maybe post a link from the performance or race car tech forum..

metal plates could be put either both same or each one different....about clutch discs i am not that worried, it will either work or not

i guess i`ll try it first with those used ones and later put new ones in....

The disks have the center shaft sticking out farther on one side and flush on the other. Each disk should have that sticking outward. The center plate engages offset with its teeth to the other plate. Standard TOB should be fine.

well i guess it will work with stock TO bearing too, but i am trying to do it best way and i was told radiused TOB will help full engagement and clutch disks should last longer then..

and since i am digging into this, i am looking into fully hydraulic TOB option since its offered :
