Default CG Motorsport 6 Paddle

Has anybody used the CG Motorsport 6 paddle clutch (rigid version of the drive plate for race use)?

They seem quite well priced and seem to get good overall reviews on other car forums. However, none seem to be running close to Cosworth power/torque figures.

Plan on running one of their paddles with a brand new LUK standard cover?

My YB is at stage 3.

Any experience or thoughts welcomed.

Thanks,

Al

Si, did you go for the 6 paddle and helix cover? Remember when I first asked you about those clutches I was dubious then.

He made me a carbon ceramic one so it would be lighter on the pedal than a 6paddle but was the worst thing I've ever bought for the car, I've now spent another Ł485 on a clutch 6 paddle ap from matt Lewis and soon as I get this one out I'm taking it back and gettin my money back I'm furious. It's been a right carry on from start to finish

Is this the same crowd as Techniclutch?

I'm needing a clutch, and CG look tempting, but not a chance I'll be using them if they're actually just Techniclutch! Been there, picked the bits out the bellhousing!

Rans its not be published very well but Alcon and AP have changed the rating of there covers to 330 bhp and thats why they are light so people who know run a Helix cover now
