PC800 Clutch Springs
Written by goldwingman40 on 5/24/2007 at 03:01 pm

Ron,
That was what I was thinking. Years back, about 35, I had some
special springs made for high temperature tooling that hooked to
exhaust manifolds on engine test stands, the material was 18-8
stainless steel and I don't remember how 302 stainless compared for
temperature resistance, I know it was less and 18-8 was the best at
that time.

I forgot to ask, did you only change the springs and how does the
clutch feel and how is it performing.

Do you have the spec on the stock springs?

Fred
