Focus RS AP 6-Paddle Clutch
I bought an AP 6-Paddle Clutch to run in my ERST, but can't make it fit. It's been dry-fitted onto the flywheel, but categorically hasn't run. It has been slightly modified, but be assured that the modifications will absolutely NOT affect the way it works.
I simply had the rounded bevel on the very edge of the clutch altered very slightly and the bolt holes counter-bored by a further 4mm. The brand new Ford bolts that are included with this sale, were also adjusted by 4mm to match.
This clutch is around £450 new, I'd take £325 for it, which is a REAL bargain IMO.
In this pic you can see the machining I had done. It really was VERY marginal. That edge has a rounded profile on it as standard, I just had the trimmed back very slightly.

a good mate of mine had the same problem in his erst with a rs2000 mtx box on it and these clutches are made for the new style mtx box which is bigger but they do fit if you take a dremmel to the side of the diff casing in the bell housing.
thats if you aint already sold it etc
