Actually my setup is virtually identical to that which Pyramid posted a week or two ago:

Parts:
Yellow clutch shoe
1.8mm pre-tension spring.
Black clutch shoe cut up as the flyweights

Settings:
0.5mm clutch gap
0.2mm endplay
2.1mm pre-tension

Rene did all the tuning of the pre-tension by observing how my car performed - he can see and hear when it is correct. He does the same in tuning the engine.

I really can't say how to do this, I wouldn't be able to do it myself anywhere near as good as Rene and I couldn't really observe Rene doing the work, as I was on the driver stand.


Cheers, Mark.
