    I also got two of these frying wheels at the same time as Ian, so far all seems good, should have the car with one of them in started in a day or two. At least it was a chance for me to discover how many different kinds of Hilux clutches there are...

    is no one else worried about the shock hardening that aluminium undergoes.

    Looks nice. Who made it?

    love_ke70 - when a clutch manufacturer creates ANYTHING, they will hopefully ask (well should ask) the sorta RPM and abuse it will take, then make it to take more than that. They pretty much have to make sure that there will never be any problems with exploding flywheels etc or they'll get sued etc.

    Really it could happen to anyone, with any clutch if something goes wrong.
