(Ignore the Arrows)
Whats the diffence Between these 2 clutch plates, 1's got a solid friction pad whilst the other has seperate pads.

[CK]

wet clutch / dry clutch?

slipper v's std?

old v's new?

do they both work?

[andyb]

Sintered versus carbon?

[MonstaTom]

as andy says, the left is standard (not sure wot it's made of) and the the right is a sintered.
I think...

[andyb]

That said i dont know what make, my sintered ones are seperate parts ie slotted.

[khushy]

they are both Carbon - just different types of plate!

sintered plates have a golden colouring to them and are usually on steel.

Depends how much power your trying to put through them

The one on the left looks like a standard item, on a steel plate (try a magnet) and the one on the right is a Surflex carbon item.
The Surflex is an upgrade over stock. Higher friction material, so able to handle more HP. The Surflex pack usually builds with thinner steels so you can 8 or 9 plates in to increase the surface area of friction material to.
