Cast Iron Clutch Linings - Winston Teague - 29-09-2019
Some (many?) years ago i bought a pair of cast iron clutch linings from John Sutton, having worn out the pair that came from Reg Nice decades before. A new generation of Teague whose genes are likely to include traits of heavy footedness needs a pair for his motor. Is there a known source? If not I shall have to make some, in which case is there demand from others to facilitate a batch? All the best, Winston

Rob Beck and Andrew Goodfellow have made these for others recently, worth a try if you have contact.

I've made some recently from old brake discs (just fitted them today actually). Not difficult but modern brake discs are made from tough stuff and it's a messy job. It's particularly unpleasant going through the ventilation slots!

If you use Ford Fiesta ones they are unvented. With care you can trepan and make two per disc.

Thanks chaps, Robert do you know which fiesta it is? Do you part off a slice? W
