Hi

where can i buy a Alcon 6 paddle clutch for my ZVH with Ib5 Gearbox.
i think the AP 4 paddle clutch is not strong enough.

thanks for help and sorry for my bad english

greetings from germany

 

send Christian and Beccy a pm, Christian works at APT and is a reliable guy, he will sort you out

 

i ran an alcon 6 paddle in mine, when the engine was sorted, it destroyed it completely.

An AP 4 paddle was then fitted (albeit modified iirc), and no probs since.

I was feeding it 325ft/lb as well.

Hth

 

Would these fit on a fiesta st gearbox?

It is an ib5 ASFAIK

 

Alcon have (stupidly) discontinued their 6-Paddle clutch now.

Having said that, I wouldn't piss on Alcon/Ears Motorsport if they were on fire though, so even if it was still available I wouldn't sell it any more.

 

ok thanks for your answers,

is it right that the alcon paddle clutch isn´t advisable>?

i will run the zvh with 350bhp.

stu? the alcon cluch destroyed your engine?

greetings

 

Other way round - engine destroyed clutch - immediately
Was fine when at about 220bhp - when new engine went in, it died instantly LOL

Ollie and Tim run in excess of 400bhp, ollie a LOT more than that, and they use AP 4 paddle.

Alcon

AP

 

Do they? Thats news to me.

 

stu & christian your escorts are beatyful
is this the ap clutch?

Why's that Christian? I've had nothing but good experiences everytime i've dealt with Dave@Ears.

 

Cos his car wasnt as fast as Ollies

 

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

I don't really want to go into detail, but we have this week seen exactly how shit a company can be to a trade customer, which is somewhat worrying that if they can shit on us, what could they do to a retail customer?

 

Stu.H?

i ve got a second question.did you have steel rods in your ZVH conversion?which big end bearings did you used?

so guys i start here an public-opinion poll

which clutch is better AP racing(4 paddle) or alcon(6paddle)

 

Yes mate, steel bottom end, big end bearings not sure mate

I know it all had to be built brand new so Karl can prolly answer that if he is on later...

Granted the alcon could have been worn when I had the car, but there is a reason that NMS use the 4 paddle AP over the alcon for their cars



I think what Karl said last was that Alcon are the best for cossies, and AP 4 paddle for RST's

 

ok i buy the ap clutch.i cant find big end bearings for my steel rods there are from PEC.the geniune big end bearings are to big.
