I'm looking at buying a STM slipper for my 749 but am confused as they talk about number of teeth etc. There has probably been a thread before but can some one give me the info I need to purchase in none technical speak
Thanks

Two types

1) that can use your std plates, and six or four post with conventional springs.

2) A 48 tooth one that has specific plates, different to your originals. It also uses one central diaphragm spring.

I prefer option 1.

Its option 1 that Ive been looking at. Does this then fit any clutch on 749 by dropping straight in.
Ive also seen the Casoli but couldn't get any info on it

YOu need to assemble a slipper with correct plate stack height, plate order etc, its not like say a cover you just fit.

Can be quite simple when you know how;)

You could give Nelly a ring at Cornerspeed, he sells/fits STM clutches so he'll be able to put you straight. He fitted my 4 tooth STM slipper for me.

Thanks, I've got 2 on my current watch items but if I miss these the Casoli one looks the right price for my budget

I've got all the tools for a standard 12 tooth slipper if you need any help, and you're only about an hour away...

Thanks JPM I'll take you up on the offer when I gat one. I'm going to go for a decent one so I need to save some more pennies, especialy as Ive got some termis and a 6k service coming in the next couple of weeks
