Will hardly be much more expensive just to buy a new paddle plate.

But there should be clutch places all over the country that can rivet new paddles on. Just make sure they end up the same thickness as the new ones would have been.

And always ensure clutch cover and flywheel surface are perfectly smooth before refitting

Ahh right, you bought a complete clutch kit second hand. Thought you already had a full clutch but wanted the friction plate sorted.

Although you can buy complete new clutch kits for around Ł300 for some makes. Some of the bigger name brands are dearer though.

By time you get it refaced, buy a flywheel, cover and release bearing...you'd almost be as well just buying a new clutch

And you need to make sure you get a clutch cover to match the paddle thickness. Different brands do use different thicknesses.

You can buy a complete new 3 piece clutch kit for around Ł300 in some cases
And unless aiming for over 400bhp, organic is best.

Although if aiming for over 400bhp, or close to it, dont expect the 5 speed to last long either
