I have one in my Escort, and they are awesome . Lovely light pedal and perfect suited for up to 500bhp / 400lbft - more if you avoid launching .

Price is on my website under transmission . Drive plates are out of stock for three weeks - the usual Alcon debacle .

Tunnel vision, I didn't see the AP bit - just the 6-plate paddle .

I'm not sure how these compare to the Alcon ones, I don't think they give as nice a pedal if I remember correctly from what others have posted .

Can he not wait? In meantime, I'll get price .

Im sure Dave Cos4x4 used a AP 6 paddle in his silver 4x4 Nick. IIRC it was a cracking clutch & was used in his Escort aswell.

I used a 6 paddle in my old saph with a standard pressure plate. it did me proud for a fair few miles & was alot easier to use on the road over the 4 paddle i replaced it with.
