rw spur

[leelar]

Just use a Durango spur ,I have used one for the last 6 months racing every week and no problems.

Which slipper pads are thought to be the best?

I modified the TC spur to fit a ballrace and made friction plates from tufnol but that material did not seem to be ideal. When it slipped the surface seemed to glaze over and it no longer gave a good progressive setting. It was either slipping a lot or not at all.

I can put the inner profile into anything but would like to know that the end result will give what I'm after.

I also use a larger diameter spring, which locates over the boss on the pressure plate. This gives a lower spring rate and makes adjustment easier. It also lets the nyloc nut get onto the shaft!

Cheers

Generally made from PTFE (Teflon).
Associated and Schumacher are the best of the octagonal type fits.

Ta.

Is it worth looking at Associated's "high torque" version on a 2wd?
