aluminium clutch plates

doogalman · 12-Jun-2005, 19:03

I am after a new set of 12 tooth aluminium clutch plates next week. Is there anywhere doing them at a good discounted price, as i am strapped for cash at the moment (ordering a complete new slipper did not help) .
So far had a quote of about £115 , is this about right or do you know of a better deal.

Do you have the slipper fittted yet. Do you intend to fit the new plates to the slipper? I suggest that you fit carbon plates fron JHP, they are dearer but will pay back dividends by not eating your basket.

Waiting for the slipper , will have it this week. Are the plates made of carbon? i thought that the carbon clutch plates related to the friction material! Now i got more options to look into. What sort of money are the carbon plates? I have read that some people get fairly good longterm wear with aluminiun plates against the outer.

the carbon is the friction material they are then mounted on to a light alloy plate. cost £180
somewhere on the board there is talk off the S4 plates being the ones to go for ?

Thats what i thought. I had found loads of carbon ones on us ebay made by barnett with aluminium plates, but unfortunatly they wont ship worldwide. Shame considering the exchange rate.

ST4 plates are the ones to go for. Ally plates, much quieter than steel and dont muller the basket so much.

I run ST4S plates in my slipper with no problems at all. They are about the £115 mark.
You can get Bucci for about £140 and the surflex ones, the most common carbon faced plates, for about £160.
Barnett plates are available from PDQ I think who distribute them in the UK. They are pretty pricey if I recall.
I'd go for the ST4S if moneys tight. I've got about 8k on mine and I do use the slipper a lot
