SUBY CLUTCHES

My Spyder has a Suby engine and trans so it is a Suby clutch and flywheel. The nice part is the release lever is on top of the bell housing where there's plenty of room and really easy access for adjustments.

I'm pretty sure they're are no adjustments at the slave cylinder. The slave bolts directly to the bellhousing.

How is "your car" coming along?

My MG/Suby uses a KEP adaptor flywheel but on the advice of @David Stroud IM Roadster D I did not use their disc but instead called Bully Clutch in Canada and had them make a disc for me to Stroud's specification. It's got a metallic friction surface on one side and organic on the other, and it's smooth as butter still after 6 years' shifting.

The disc cost about $110 so maybe double what a commodity "performance" disc was going for and I regret nothing.

A lot of the parts are Backordered. I still have another month at least before rancho has the transmission built.  I'm slowly piecing the parts together .

Danny....A shop down in Santa Anna is currently getting my frame and such this week for fabrication of the frt and rear suspension.

When Rancho did my Suby trans. The price was about the same as a VW unit with a Rhino case and LSD.  Yes, it was a little more but it included a new LSDifferential as well.

The savings was not having to spend the money for an adaptor and flywheel and related parts.

It makes no sense to me to use a VW trans in a Suby powered Spyder these days.

Funny....You're gonna have a lot of fun with your car !

Did you have to supply Bully clutch with a core for the center splined part .

I can't remember if I supplied the core center spline part but likely I did otherwise they'd have nothing to work with and would have to go looking for one themselves. Bully clutch is a division of Ottawa Clutch in Ottawa, Canada. You can call them 1-613-745-1212 and ask for Frank Bedard. I just checked my records and it was actually 10 years ago that I bought my clutch disc from them. My "item number" back then was CP1136Cl. Kevlar on one side and ceramic on the other. There are likely many discs that would work but I can guarantee that this one in particular works very well. I tested it on a couple of junkyard Soob engines and then finally installed it in my Soob Frankenmotor. As Ed said above, it works very well. I sold that car about three years ago and it just got sold again last month. No idea of actual miles put on that clutch but the bugger kept on working. The guy I sold it to races cars and he likely would not have taken it easy on that clutch. Never an issue. Ottawa Clutch ( Bully ) is quite a versatile company and can rebuild just about any friction type part....like elevator brakes, they did my Piper Cub brake shoes and I remember a customer of theirs walking in with a clutch disc off some old farm tractor. The farmer asked if they needed to know what tractor it was off and Frank just said " no....come back in an hour for it, we know it's haying season". I paid $95 CAD for my clutch back then ( about $18. USD ) .

I don't think I sent a core but don't remember.
