I am SO good to you guys!

Just rang Tony @ Clutch Systems in Chritchurch New Zealand - very knowledgeable (+64 3366 8442)

He said the clutch was one they made up for a local Ford dealer as they were having problems with their Transit clutches

The cover is a generic 240mmm cover made by a Turkish company called Don Mez

The Don Mez part numbers are as follows:

Cover: DM 040 948
Plate: DM 040 012

Use a normal release bearing, or uprated one if you can get one

So far, I have used this clutch with no problems. It doesn't seem to bite as hard as my last one, and when I questioned Tony about this, he said it won't, but it will bite a little harder as it wears.

Something to do with the fingers of the pressure plate sitting quite flat when it releases?

Obviously, use this setup at your own risk, but so far I can say that at 355 dyno HP @ 6500RPM, 25PSI, I've had no problems, and it's a very driveable clutch. I've had wheelspin in third gear too (scary fooking shyte sideways at that speed, then overcorrected, managed to get it back on the straight and narrow!)

Remember that I also had to drill the locating holes on the cover by .5mm and it went on pretty snugly at that
