Dave:
Roger Williams in his book
"How to restore the Triumph TR5/250/6" states his
preference for the Laycock/Luk, despite the higher cost.
He goes so far as to recommend a rebuilt Laycock over
a new B&B. Borg and Beck was second, as I recall.
He also recommended avoiding other suppliers, for reasons
that I don't recall at the moment.
Having said that, I purchased a B&B, because
it was so much cheaper ($80 for the plate and disk).
I have not put it in yet, so there is plenty of time
for me to regret my decision =:-o
Cheers,
Vance

Hey List;
I'm really *not* trying to generate a major debate of opinions
here but now that I've received my new Gunst TO bearing I
pulled the tranny to find the plates are both in dire shape. So,
here comes the fork, pin, x-shaft bearings, etc. My question is:
Is there such a things as a "good", "better" "best" brand of
clutch pressure/drive plates? I'm not concerned with the TO
bearing since I already have that in hand, but is Sachs, say,
considered better than B&B for quality? Or than Luk? Or is all
this really a matter of personal preference and there is no real
quality difference in the plates?
