Peyote had a Tilton clutch, until I broke the flywheel bolts and fragged
it. Like you say, on-off switch. Don't have anyone in your line of sight
when you're looking for the friction point. It's stall or launch.
The cheater TR3 has the Cambridge Motorsports skinny steel one--very nice
piece and it uses the std TR4 clutch. Good stuff.
Peyote NOW has the one from the Jeep guy I couldn't remember. Very nice
part and it works really well. Uses the standard TR4 clutch and he also
makes a very trick ceramic and Kevlar clutch plate. I couldn't use my cool
little clutch plate 'cause I didn't realize my trans doesn't have a TR3/4
input shaft. Duh. Meister Catpusher used some of his tricks when he built
it.
What is that, Hardy, a TR6 shaft?

Mine came from Mr. Webber of Malvern Racing. He advertises in the SCCA
Sports Car magazine, and he ordered it from Tilton in California. It
consists of a single wafer disc and a small harmless looking diaphragm
pressure plate. I have been using the stock diaphragm throw out bearing
with
a fabricated 3" distance piece between the forks and the bearing.
A smaller throw out bearing was furnished, which I should be using, but my
machinist has not as of yet made me another distance piece for it. The
clutch operates sort of like an on-off switch -- have to be careful while
driving in the paddock.
Is this the best setup? I do not know. You supposedly can get a skinny
steel flywheel, which is not much heavier than the aluminum, and will hold
up
better.
