i take mine off the centre drum, the plates rest against the backing plate attached to it and build up from there and the slipper releases by the action of the centre drum pushing against the inside of the pressure plate. you can measure maximum "lift" by the distance from centre drum flat to the end of the shaft on the backing plate it slides on without the spring in place, the distance from edge of presure plate where it sits against pack to the inside diameter the drum pushes is 7mm. by altering pack with 1.5 and 2 mm plates it might be possible to reduce this distance and get the plate away from drum so if your spring weakens the first bit of drum movement don't release pressure, it might need small washers under the caps or different spring caps, i've got 3 sets of caps and each is a different height so alters preload pressure. Same thing with springs, some seem to be thicker coils and bind more easily, they seem to need a taller cap.
TBH the basket should have little to do with it other than retaining the friction plate tangs. Saying that mines still slipping but i'm waiting for new plates arriving.......
