I can see what pinning the front slipper disk does and the results seem reasonable. Pinning the front ensures that the rear slips on power. It seems that this would not be the best solution for all around function. Breaking would be full front and rear. As was said it is like a locked center diff. with slipper action.

The Clutch basket design does change the relationship between front and rear much like a center diff. The difference in friction front to rear is related to the slipper pad material and the surface area. It would be like a heavy weight oil in a center diff.

I was planning to get the Garolite pads and mix them with the stock AE pads. If I want more front grip under power then I would place the garolite on the inner disk and vary the outer disk between the regular and HT pads to manage the rear. I don't think I want to pin the front.
