I am aware of rally prep in Cornwall
Who supply a pair of clutches and dog ears ( standard 2.0 mm) unlike porka 2.1
This costs £130 for 2x clutch 2x dog ears
I would need 2x kits :mad: £260
This is before I try to source 2.1 porka dog ears

Or do I machine 3.8 or 3.6 mm use standard 2.0mm dog ears !

Try to find our cheapest solution to a improvement on a standard 25% lsd

Think I need a lie down my heads spinning :mad: :mad:

:wave:

You can get away with re-using the dog ear plates. Just flip them so the new clutches run on the fresh side. If you're using four clutches, put them on the outer positions

Oh and D&T are the chaps to talk to for the new pates :)
