Just a quick update. I have removed my clutch. It was pretty used up. About .025" of material left on the flywheel side and none on the pressure plate side. Rivets do not make for a good contact patch......

I can't image I have that many miles on this thing for it to be that far gone.

Well, that bites! Thanks for the pictures - let us know your solution, Mick. Your clutch look very similar to the joyner 1100 clutch.

For anyone that's interested, I decided to go with the OE replacement disc. Sean at Super Karts had them in stock. The re-line was possible for about the same price, but the turnaround was a bit longer than I had time for so I just went with the stock unit.

Installation requires the use of an alignment tool in order to center the new disc so the trans input shaft will align properly. The replacement clutch does not provide one, nor do I know where to acquire one. I ended up having to make one up in order to complete the install.

The replacement disc is working fine with no signs of slippage. I think some of the wear was due to the early high geared trans and the need to slip the clutch in some adverse situations. Hopefully, with the lowered geared unit, the clutch should last longer.
