Maybe you're right Mike.

Please tell me who offers a twin-disc street clutch with two diaphragm
options. Maybe one of them has a sprung disc center too?

I'd like to go to the website and have a look at them anyway.

Thanks

Barry

  True enough.

  With respect to clutches though, the clutch manufacturers have the best
options, and the only *reasonable* options.  Different Pantera vendors sell
different clutches, but you don't have to buy them from the Pantera vendors
if you don't want.  But I think it's foolish to try to cobble together a
clutch for a Pantera using parts not intended for that application, when
there are so, so many different setups that have been formally and properly
engineered for the task, readily available.

  Just out of curiousity, have you home-brew types every taken the time to
actually *look* at the McLeod website, for instance, and see all the options
available for the Pantera just from them?  Everything from totally
stock-style replacements, to diaphragm pressure plates, a bunch of different
types of clutch discs (to include flyweight 'racing' discs), multi-plate
setups, and even super-small-diameter low-inertia clutches are all sitting
right there, waiting to be chosen.

  There are no less than eight different twin-disc street clutch setups on
offer, for example, as well as six different three-finger options, two
diaphragm options, and that's just for starters....
