Clutch plates

[smudge]

Hi. What brand of plates did you use. I've used ebc in the past and sent two sets back under warranty. I've found a surflex kit on eBay but never heard of them before. Advise needed?

Hi Smudge,

Funnily enough,I bought a complete set of Surflex steel and fibre plates like these and from this seller.....

Look the part and have heard of no problems with them, but must admit that life has gotten in the way and they are still sat on the bench in the packet waiting to be fitted.

Cheers

Tim

Please ignore this. It posted twice and says I've deleted it but it still shows

he sp1 inner (first friction into the basket) and outer are the same size as the other five but the friction material is different. The outer friction plate goes into the shallower locators but all discs are the same size. The sp2 inner friction plate has a larger internal diameter than the others to allow the upgraded anti judder springs to sit inside them, then the other plates on top with again the same size outer but made of a different friction material. With both the sp1 and 2 the friction material isn't noticeably different to the eye until it's soaked in oil then you can visually see a colour difference. You can put the sp2 clutch pack into the sp1 as they share the same basket. Hope this helps

Oh and as for the surflex clutch I went genuine after all as it was only £1.50 more to have a factory Honda clutch in her
