There was no red dust with the last clutch although quite a bit of brown dust!!! the spigot looked fine the dowels are actually new as I lost them when the father inlaw had a workshop clean up. I just feel with the extra paddles on the clutch it aint got enough grip its no where as snappy as my old one.
