HELP!! Quick!!
 

Ok, there's a guy selling a DP slipper clutch (like new) for 430 euros (£ 292 i guess).
It doesn't come with the springs nor the clutch discs.

So the questions are, is it worth it?
Can i use the springs on my oem clutch?
Can i use the disks on my oem clutch? (i guess i can't, but not sure)

I've done a search but couldn't found the listed price of one of those nor of the discs that i'll probably have to buy.

Any help is welcome, thanks

You can use all of the standard parts, assuming it's a 12 tooth basket

You can use your springs, and probably plates though you may need an extra 1 or 2 to get right stack height. Not sure if DP has an alloy basket; if so you would be better getting alloy plates. Price is okay, I think.

Thanks.

Yes it's a 12 tooth basket.
So, no problem with using the the oem discs?? :D

dukess, by alloy plates you mean the pressure plate or are those other plates (sorry, i don't know **** about mechanics)?

I'll put up a pic the guy send me.

Here's the pic.

anything missing besides the springs and discs?

Alloy plates are the tabbed plates with friction material on them; looks like an alloy basket from here. Not sure, but shouldn't it have a spider spring (I know some slippers don't)

Sorry for my dumbness regarding this, but those alloy plates you're talking about, are they selled separatly? Do they come with the discs when you buy them?
And err..... what's a spider spring? :puzzled:

Good to see youve got the spacer, and the spring caps as they are different!

You may need to get a couple of dished steels, and remember the order of build is different to std!

You can use your OEM pack, it's just that sooner rather than later the steel teeth will notch the alloy basket. You can buy an ST4s clutch pack which has the whole caboodle inc. alloy friction plates. However I've had one on order for 6 weeks and still no sign, so I'd be keen to find an alternative source. I think John Hackett sells individual plates but I haven't been in touch to find out if they do alloy ones.

The spider spring is a star shaped tensioned spring that fits somewhere at the bottom of the clutch hub (I'm no expert either!). The Ferraci and Casoli slippers I've had both had them.

Ok, thanks a lot guys.

I don't know... maybe i'll drop it.
This is getting confusing.

But to resume... if i get an ST4s clutch pack and that come with the spider spring i'll have it all, right?

How much is an ST4s clutch pack ?

Here is a picture of the spider spring, I should imagine that there will be one with the clutch that you are looking at, I have used my standard plates on all my 3 slipper clutches with no problems, you can upgrade to alloy plates at a later date, AJ Racing have the alloy,carbon etc sets.

Thanks iang, i'll send him that pic and ask him if the spider spring is included. :cool:

Ducnow,
you can use your original springs, bolts etc but just make sure that it definately is a slipper clutch, If you look on the back of the red pressure plate there should be no teeth ( only the standard non slipper has teeth on the back of the pressure plate )

I fitted mine myself by borrowing a clutch drum holder from a local honda dealer and it only took about 1 hour and was not brain surgery, the main thing to watch is to put the spacers in the correct way and to make sure the plates are in in the correct sequence.

I have an exploded diagram somewhere !!! If required.

Great!! Thanks a lot for the info, iang ;)

If you use the link there is a step by step guide on fitting a slipper clutch ( Most are very similar ), the picture be blown up by clicking on them.

Also the picture is an exploded diagram showing where the parts go.

Start with a friction plate at the back and the last plate installed must be a steel ( Against the pressure plate )

:cool: I think i'll need that ;)

I do not suppose that you are in the Newcastle area as I could have helped you out with fitting.

Thanks a lot for the offer :)
But nope, i'm in Portugal :D

Cheap flights, few days in the sun, hmm

:lol::lol::lol:

Anytime, just let me know :)

If you hurry up there's a track day at Estoril in the 5th of October :D
