I rescheduled my initial clutch install from mid-May to this weekend (4/6/19). Looks like I still won't have a clutch to install by then?
XClutch Twin Disk - Group Buy Feeler
- Thread starter BSimmi15
- Start date
I have my installation at the end of the month. If I don't know what's going on within the next week I will backbout of the group buy and order something else.
Chris is currently on leave just now, so I'm discussing this directly with Extreme Clutch in AU to see if I can expedite the process. Will have an update later on today!
Ok guys, this is the latest:
Although the stock shipment did indeed leave at the beginning of March, after checking with Extreme Clutch AU, it won't actually be arriving stateside till early May (not the mid-March originally stated to me)!
However, I understand that this is a rather big setback, so what I have arranged is to ship out some clutches immediately to customers on a first-come-first-served basis, outside of the group buy:
Twin Disc Organic: $1250 inc shipping
Twin Disc Ceramic: $1350 inc shipping
Prices quoted are landed in the US and include customs/duty charges, so there are no additional charges on top.
Just to give you an idea of the number of clutches that are available just now:
6-Bolt Organic - 1
Please PM me asap if you wish to order!

Sorry for the current situation of the group buy. I am trying my best to keep everyone updated and to help resolve any issues. It is unfortunate that XClutch left it so late before asking me to step in to help, but hopefully from this point forward with me as a direct point of contact, I should be able to have things running smoother.
Regarding the balancing tolerances, I am checking with the engineer just now.

Thanks, Michael. Through no fault of yours, the latter part of this group by has not been handled well to say the least. I've delayed my car disassembly twice. Thanks for making some clutches available. I sent payment this afternoon. Again, Michael, thanks for your support.

Word on the street is, you just took the last available 8 bolt ceramic clutch... if for some reason you decide you can wait and don't need it now, I'm ready to send MFactory payment.
I've been in this group buy since the beginning (#18) and I'm disappointed that I might have to order direct and pay more.
I have no idea if it was the last one or not however I'm sorry it cannot wait as I don't have another car to drive and the car doesn't move at all at the moment.
No. It need to not be shipped when it actually was supposed to be arriving stateside
. I was under the impression from the thread that they had shipped early February for mid-March delivery. Go figure.Filippo

From the engineer:
"The correct tolerance for unbalance for our multi plates is 1.5 ounce/inch (108g/cm).
For reference OE manufacturers generally will balance a crankshaft to around 2-3 ounce/inch"
Thank you. Did he state if that applied to the assembly as a whole, or piece by piece?
