QM Twin Plate Clutch

Hi,

I run a twin plate QM clutch on my gen 1 circuit racer here in OZ. I need some new clutch plates, can you recommend a place to buy them and the sort of price.

I have heard that "Taylors" is pretty good?

Cheers...

Mazdaspeed has them available on a special pricing basis for sponsored drivers in the US. It is possible that your local Mazda racing outlet has a similar deal. Here is the US web site:

There's only enough room in this forum for one mouse-slinger. No moderator magic, I simply out-clicked you.

Sounds great Vosko, I ams ure you will sort it out.

One of the advantages of the dogbox I run, only having to use the clutch to take off, but still managed to burn my 5.5 inch plates, I think parking it on the trailer! Think I need some real lessons in how to take off with the small clutch. Anyone else run one and give give thoughts and direction?

I have tracked down some local AP's that will get me out of trouble and sourced some decently priced ones from outside of OZ as my backups.... (QM's)

Vosko, what's wrong? You seem off your game. Need a new mouse or are you just getting old?
