I'm sorry, I should have been more descriptive in my
original post.
TRF has recently started selling an "experimental clutch
kit" which (as a prior thread on the list described) uses
components from Saab and/or Toyota clutches to provide a
complete bolt-in replacement for the Laycock and B&B
clutches. The kit is significantly more expensive than
the Laycock or B&B clutches, but promises some of the
advantages of a modern clutch, such as much less
pedal pressure and more gradual engagement.
Any experiences with this "new & improved" TR6 clutch?
