    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

MTC chrome plated steel plates for clutch. Anyone use them? I was curious if the chrome flakes of or comes of? Im refreshing my Lock up clutch to replace my slider I had bought and wondered about the chrome aspect on the steel plates ? Thanx Mike
 
Mike, we use the chrome plates on sliders without issue & I have never had the chrome flake. I have never used the chrome plates with a lock up though.

Many Many years ago I raced a 792 Kaw triple, I had sandblasted the old metal clutch plates at very low air pressure (prevent warping) Like 50 pounds, then had the plates copper plated, Then springs and bolts never had a slip issue , I thought the copper plateing was soft so would grip better.

did you say Copper?

did you say Copper?

Solid copper plates - check -

the top left is a chrome steel - and to the right are stock OEM --- I prefer to use OEM steels in all applications.

as for fibers --


all the big guys package OEM factory - NOT K&L they are different material all together - they have been my favorite for a few years for 2 specific reasons - they change colors with the heat cycles they go thru - start green and end brown. .119" new and I toss them when they wear down to .110", and compared to OEM the V.R.T. remains absolutely predictable hot or cold. delay box racing is very precise.

. Now there is another company K G moving into the wet clutch biz..

and I will be using their fibers next season.
