yep, I use M5x5 grub screws purely because they're easier to get :whistling:

Allo my Trophy buggy came with a 13Tooth bell clutch, i upgraded it to a 15 tooth one which fitted perfectly well. i think it made a small difference. What one did you get in the end? Did it fit ok? Much difference in performance??

Clutch no.2 has gone, 3 shoe goes in at the weekend. Do they need to bed in much?

Not something I have ever given a thought to, just fit and go for it.

I would recommend anyone to get aluminium shoes though once the originals have gone, they last for aaaaaaages :blush:

The aluminium shoes aren't fantastic as aluminium has weaker inter-molecular bonds than most other metals :blush:

This basicly means that it is easy for bits of it to scrape off. Hence why the clutches in my gearboxes will be steel :whistling:

cos the outermost electrons in a P orbital isn't it lol

intermolecular bonding is strong in aluminium its a giant metallic lattice mate! loool

I found the aluminium long life shoes were crap as there were layers of aluminium left on the clutchbell, and they slipped a lot more than the standard graphite type ones.
