Does anyone have an OS Giken clutch in there FD?

If so what do you think of it?

I have a twin plate OS Giken which i could put in my car, whilst im rebuilding, it needs replacement friction plates, anyone know where i can source them from? Tried a few places but unsuccesfull so far...

I know a few Skyline people use OSG gearboxes and stuff so maybe someone like Rod Bell could get you them if the normal places cant help.

I have a Os twin plate in my FC. I have the unsprung one and its a bit ott for the road. It makes it worse when its a big port that does\'nt like low revs, makes driving in trafic very hard. On the + side i\'ve never had it slip?

My advice if to get one with sprung plates.

Chris

P.S. Try Pip At WGT last time i spoke to him he had some plates for an OS Twin

We have had two OS Gikens slip on our drag car.
They are good up to a point, but then they slip.
I like OS Gikens, but have stopped using them now cus they are a pain to get parts for.
