Craig if you can't be arsed to do a transfer, I could do it for you on the netbanking if you bring up some cash.

I'll only charge a 5% handling fee too

But seriously if you want to, give me a call.

Craig,
I think if you are going to use the standard cover, then you are making a BIG mistake that you WILL regret later. The original Ford clutches used to be made by Borg Warner (AP) and were good for nearly 400bhp with the Alcon plate. However, Ford recently change to using Sachs and this clutch slips at 350 . Ignore this advice at your financial peril later on .

i do not want the harsh feel of a uprated cover had it before and do not want it again.

i met Marco last night and he said the exact oposite to you

As I said, Marco's advice would have been spot on not long ago, but he may not realise that Ford changed suppliers on the clutch and it is now shockingly bad - why do you think you can pick up a complete standard clutch for Ł100 ?

You have obviously NEVER tried the Alcon cover and plate, because if you HAD, you would not be saying that - everyone is amazed that has ever tried this set - just ask around . It is NOT like the 4-plate paddles .

Craig,

Mike-R has a point, the Alcon cover & plate are SUPERB......Virtually as light in pedal feel as a standard item - but handles 438 ft/LBS torque no problem
