Clutch solution based on pinched ideas from other members on this board (Wally) and the internet
VW type 4 automatic flex plate with original flex plate rivets drilled out to reveal this finely machined factory peice (right). Pre-86 Chevy V8 button flywheel made by Tilton (left)
Some fine machining / TIG welding by Robert Gross to mate these two peices. They were pressed together with 10 tons of force with an interference fit before welding. Lets hope this assembly holds together
Rebuilt Tilton 7.25" dual disc clutch with 620 ft/lbs of clamping pressure (Ebay Nascar find) along with Porsche G50 ring gear
Now need to machine this peice out of aluminim to connect the ring gear to the flywheel assembly
Final unit should look like this once completed
More updates as they happen ... need to keep the momentumn as the goal is to be ready for the
Berlin Klassik in September
