The 2-puck is most likley from an sb50, the Elite E powerplant. If it's not, it looks just like one.

do you think swapping these clutches would make any difference? or at least using the two arm clutch to expariment with the spring tention???? im thinking if i shorten the springs a little to make the clutch enguage at a higher rpm, the two arm clutch would enguage a little better and mabe even a little quicker because the pads are much larger allowing for more of the pad surface to grip the bell housing, and also less chance of slipage- I know you guys put a lot of time and thought into your projects so i figure someone has probably tried it or can tell me why I shouldent-or should-

just swap the whole thing.

tospreornottospree Is running a elite e 48mm bbk. And he used dio grab springs in his elite e clutch.

They fit a little loose, but they seem to work so far.
