Mines only going to be stage 1 so i dont think a slipping clutch will be a problem, just cant seem to find anybody that does a standard item apart from on ebay for about £130.
Id rather pick the clutch up myself than buy it off ebay.

Any ideas??

Went to price a clutch yesterday for my Cossie as was hoping to run around 400hp.

The guy suggested a Transit clutch, which seems to fit perfectly, has uprated pressure, and a tough, double rivited clutch plate. Only thing he had to order was the release bearing.

For the price, and the prospect of not needing to go to button/paddle clutch, I'll give it a go! And simply change the clutch plate if it slips.
