I'll take a set as well, plus the clutch spring holder. I've managed to brake a couple of them in the past as well.

Finally got the quote for the Clutch Spring Holder
Machined out of alloy - not brittle die cast - they will be stronger than standard and stiffer. I will get them hard anodised - probably gold (a bit of bling)

I will go with the replica of the original see piccy below - bit more expensive (£7) but looks prettier (not that you can see it) than the more functional design.

With postage and anodising should be £35 same as standard. I am getting ten made (so am stumping up just over £300 up front) so hopefully there will be a few takers.

Titanium gearbox bits should be ready in a week.

Yes 0.1 more on the OD and 0.1 less on the ID.

Changed my gearbox from one where I struggled to change gear and could never find neutral to one that just clicks through and I can get neutral (most of the time).

They have now done 4 race meets with no problems.

Ordered the clutch spring holders - 2 week delivery + anodising so should be ready in 3 to 4 weeks :D

MJ, that spring holder looks great, ill also have one as well as the gearbox parts if thats ok.

Just wondering have you also done the CAM programming or is that something the machine shop will have to do? just trying to get an idea of general machining costs at their quote seems quite reasonable.
Cheers,
