things have moved on massively over the years (technical wise).. Give the clutch plates a quick soak in Bright red Automatic Transmission Fluid, and hey presto they come out BONE DRY... ;D ;D ;D

Funny you say that.. the falc is basically a dry clutch. You build it dry.. you remove the spout off the clutch cover and it has no oil thrower. My plates always come out dry. Its meant to.

Max have you been in contact with them? Can you change plates and springs without disturbing the joint between the christmas tree and the boss that replaces the spider? I will email Cristian at PLC tomorrow and ask him a few questions.

just me being sarky about the video clip... Tony. ;D He lubes the plates up for fitment, and then next thing they look dry, as are his fingers putting the plates in...?? As for your dry clutch, that suprises me.. always thought that a clutch built up dry would most likley SNATCH badly...??

e max, grazie mille

i would love one of everything FALC make for smallies... ive seen pictures of the clutch before... trick as foook... the FALC lettering looks cnc milled on, but ive seen some others where it looks like its been done by hand... not a criticism just an anal observation..(ooops).. is that early and later types..?? wasnt suggesting the hornet had a snatchy clutch, cant imagine for a minute that you could make that kind of power RIDEABLE / RACEABLE without everything being set up bang on..

I have been chatting to Christiaan (the flying dutchman) at PLC. Got some pics of the newest clutch too. Will do a write up when I feel a bit better.
