I have been looking at sprung 4 puck paddle clutches from Helix, Panther, and Competition Clutch. lkperformance.co.uk has a decent range. If the thought of a 4 puck is a bit much maybe a 6 puck as it has more of an organic clutch feel?

I've found a solution for now, there's a specialist clutch place about a hour away I'll be visiting tonight and for £50 they will fit new buttons (sections of ceramic).

So fingers crossed this works as its way cheaper than anything else and I've already removed the rivets and old buttons to help them.

I wanted to fit my own but i can only find them in large quantities from china, I'll speak to this clutch place tho and see how things go ;-)

That's a great solution. I'd be interested to see what they can do and how they hold up. Good work bud. 8-)

Well I have spoken to a couple places, and they have just said there is one grade, the Chinese ones forsale don't mention any kind of grade just different sizes.

I'll find out soon enough tho.

All done and I'm very happy, the new buttons have the same thickness as origional new but the rivets are slightly smaller I think and no wonky ones this time. Well worth the £50

The place that did it is:


D P R CLUTCH SERVICES LTD

MILL INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, TINHAY
PL16 0AH LIFTON, DEVON
01566 784855

The guy is really helpfull, I know I'll be goin back if I ever need it.

Oh wow, that looks really good actually! Looks like new.

Keep us updated on how it holds up. I assume they can they reline none paddle clutches too, like the ACT I have?
