Mcleod twin plate RST?

Post by dbv8 »

It seems my 500lb/ft John Eales cerametallic clutch is at the end of its life.
Its served me well, never slipped despite hundreds of drag races with upto 500lb/ft of nitrous assisted torque and 20k road miles.

But at £400+ for a replacement I am considering taking the opportunity for an upgrade.

Any thoughts on the Mcleod RST?

They're really good imo. They have a nice light streetable pedal action because they don't need high poundage springs due to the increased plate friction area. I used one on my TT 4.5 and 5.0 rv8's many years ago and never had any issues. They're expensive though. I imported mine direct although it was a lot of faffing about at the time. I had to drill part way into the ring gear to mount the pressure plare but that wasn't a big deal.
