          fook me that is cheap....i need one to handle the same power as spink suggested.

          Will this be what I need? IS this just for the friction plate? Or the whole lot?

                        As above DON'T go to techniclutch i've heard nothing good about them, always ends up in failure and lost money.

                        A quick five minute search on just one forum came up with 7 pages and 161 threads about this company - as above steer well clear, and then some extra just in case.

                          I suppose with shipping that could end up around that price....

                            I can recommend the SACHS clutch. I organised a group buy on these earlier in the year and ive had no issues or heard of any from others that purchased them.
