Upgrading your clutch springs?? What NOT to buy... MTC

[Dr.D]

Dinner at eight and candlelight ?

I should have thought about that and maybe could have bought the kit at a better price.

What about the backplate with its absorbersprings, does MTC make that plate thicker ?

U believe I left it out. Someone will be along to confirm I'm sure.

You left it out ? I think there is some confusion about 'the backplate' It's the plate that is riveted on the back of the clutchbasket. I think you mean the antijudderspring you left out.

I bought direct from Barnett. Figured out pads and plates were in fairly good shape. Stock springs different story. Have had no problems at all with the Barnett kit.

I did buy the kit from Barnett direct it was the stuff from Neville that I should have dated him a few times to get a better price. Joking of course, the things I bought from Lush racing was fairly priced.

MTC use the backing plate & springs off the exact basket that you send them.

There are 2 basket versions out there; the early ones which have thinner backplate, and the latest revision with thicker backplate which came in at #249178 according to my files, so probably late 05 or early 06 (silver engines).
you're safely into the thicker one with your '10

No - you cannot buy the backplate by itself, Professor, it comes as part of the outer clutch basket, of which there are 2 versions

Well, I think there is some confusion with your understanding what's a backplate with its absorbersprings and what's a outer clutchbasket/drum.So dear apprentice, I will have a try to explain to you. As I did mention previous to Big Norm, I was talking about the backplate with its absorbersprings. Your pic is showing a(MTC, I think) outerbasket from the inside. Hereby a pic which is showing the back(side) and its

outerbasket with its absorbersprings. I'm glad explaining to you, don't mention it.That's why I'm the nutty professor.

The only misunderstanding here is yours my friend. I'm well aware of what a backplate is.

I think you are confused as I posted a front view pic of an MTC clutch, with the sole purpose of demonstrating I have one.
NOT to show what a backplate is.
You jumped to the conclusion that I wanted to illustrate a backplate.

Now since you are obviously so smart, can you please tell me why you are asking questions (that I tried to help you by answering, btw), if you know it all already?
