Subject: RE: Clutch for a 200HP
L20B
Contact Daikin clutches (don't have email address here) and tell them
what you want. They do up a really good heavy duty kit using Ford
commercial pressure plate which is very strong and still street
driveable.
Personally I would get a button clutch through Errol though. It's
one thing to be inconvenienced on an occasional street drive but another to
have slipping clutch in an event

Listers,
It is nearly time to put my worked L20B rally
motor into the Datsun 1600.
What are my clutch options? My intended use is
mainly for rallying on sealed roads and motorkhanas but also has to be
driveable on the street occasionally. The twin 45 Webered motor apparently
puts out 200 HP (150kW) at the flywheel. The flywheel is aluminium but
with a hardened steel insert faceplate wear surface. The gearbox I will
use is probably gonna be my trusty old 240K 5-speed or an untested
Stanza SSS box. The clutch that came with the motor was a 3-puck brass
button clutch but it is nearly gone and I've been told that they are pretty
much either on or off with virtually no slippage (scarey in the
wet).
I checked my archives and Mark K says an
RB30 VL Commodore clutch will fit an L/Z series motor. Is this a
heavier duty clutch than your standard L20B Bluebird
replacement?

I use the clutch factory who are also known as
precision clutch.Mines a 240mm
job.It uses a competition brass plate with
a 3100lb pressure plate.Its not just
a standard type pressure plate with
a heavier diaphram it has a different
fulcrom point and steel plate.The
l20 flywheel had to be redrilled to suit.It
has stood up pretty well so
far.Ive used there old style brass clutch with a
heavy diaphram
pressure plate and that lasted a couple of weeks.The daikin
clutch i had
lasted less than a week and was sliping in top gear from the
word
go.

Now I don't want to redrill the flywheel, so
will a standard type heavy duty clutch suffice?
Can I get the 3-puck brass button
redone?
Sorry to waffle on but clutch changes are not
my favourite job, I just want something with some slip that will stand up to
some thrashing.
Cheers,
Rob
