[keefer]

the booklet I have with the corse race item says 9
I think the important thing is the depth from the top plain plate to the outer edge of the basket which is suggested to be around 4mm

ive taken a chance and tried it with 9 plates with 3.5mm remaining on centre hub and its not slipping, but feels a bit dry / grippy when pulling away,
will tray swapping over some friction plates for some others that i have and see if that cures it

[keefer]

these should help

they have a dot punched into them
you then place the first with the dot facing you then when you put the next one in the dot should be facing away from you (apposed)
hence the little dot next to C in the picture

ive looked for a dot on the plates but havent seen any with dots. ? perhaps im just not tuned in to what im looking for, where on the plates are the dots?
