Where To Buy A Paddle Clutch?

[Cameron 16]

I've tried searching on google for this on quite a few occasions, but there seems to be very few places that advertise selling them. Does anyone know a good place to get Helix / Sachs or equivalent paddle clutch kits from?

 

I'm also on the lookout for a lightened flywheel, QEP would have been my first point of enquiry but since they're no longer trading, does anyone know a good place to look?

Try SPEC clutch in the USA, very helpful, range of different clutches that they will recommend according to your use and torque, and cheaper than Helix etc.

 

I have one for my turbo car, not fitted yet.

If it's for your 205 Cameron, then it might be worth giving James_R a shout if you've still got his number/email - he had a 215mm Mi16 one that was pretty much as-new, seeing as it had only driven over to the 'Ring and managed half a lap before the engine quit It was for sale at a quite reasonable price when he broke the car and sold everything off, but he might well have already long since sold it.

Yes! I was looking at these a few months ago and completely forgot what their name was. Thanks!

I'll give him a try, do you know if he still has his old number?

Or have a look at TTV, they do loads of options for the XU engine, I can get hold of Helix stuff within a few days

[Cameron 16]

Miles is it possible (or a good idea) to run a paddle friction plate with the standard pressure plate? I'd rather not have to fork out for an uprated cover if I don't have to, I just need a friction plate that can withstand track use a bit better.

 

I'll send TTV an email about their flywheels too.

I got mine from Demon Tweeks!

[Cameron 16]

Is it one of those Competition Clutch ones? If so, are they any good?

 

Notice they sell TTV flywheels too, handy!

The GTi6/Mi flywheels are only suppplied by Rich W if your after a std one, I;ve known people to run paddles with std cover's, If it's a good idea or not I really don;t know

I currently have a helix paddle clutch (which is for sale), as I understand it after some investigations, it depends on the torque figures. It is the cover that gives the increased torque capability, as this gives the clamping force, so yes you can use a standard cover, but you will only get a small increase in torque due to the better friction material of the paddle plate.

Helix paddle clutch with heavy duty cover is rated to 220 lb/ft, standard helix clutch and cover is rated to 180lb/ft.

I am looking to get a Hispec clutch from the states as they are the only place I have found that has a standard fit clutch kit with the torque rating I need.

How much is a Mi/GTI6 alloy flywheel? Does it have a steel or alloy ring gear?

[Cameron 16]

Well I guess that's a good thing, my engine only puts out 150lbft so maybe I could use a standard cover.

They where are around £240.00 last year, so a little more I guess now, I'll be able to confirm next week.

Everything is Steel and uprated EN rating over the first batch a few years back which did have issues, All seems fine with the new ones thou, Got one on my Dads daily driver, Done around 20k and all good

Yes mines a competition one, thats why i wanted to keep it for my vts conversion. Its still on the car after a long struggle to get the right flywheel . Its good and its only done a couple of hundred miles from new.
