Here's a pic of the Tilton 225mm twin plate clutch mounted to the Jim Berry modified 6 speed flywheel. It's not rattly, and not hard to drive (even though Tino stalled it 3 times)

It was already mounted to the engine when he sent the papparazzi 'round to take bathroom spec pics so we had to improvise!



Tino insisted I drive it, although I was nervous some dick would crash into me or I'd blow something up. Even conserving the revs it's bloody rapid. It makes a NOISE from the twin 'gates like nothing else. People turn to look at where the noise was, because you've already left the scene!

I realise the HP number is important for the magazine article (they all lie anyway) but I reckon at 4,5 or 6 hundred horsepower it'll be just as fun to drive. Get some miles on the thing, get some enjoyment from driving it before winter sets in.
