Default Clutch ****

So, I'm in the process of ordering some upgrades and this finally shows up today - delayed by the recent storms but, I think you'll agree, worth the wait.

Mantic 9000 Series Dual Disc Clutch from ECS


















This should hook up nicely with my LG CF drive shaft that's also late but on the way.

Thanks for the purchase! Wait until you drive it.


No core charge on the case, I use them for my tuning equipment storage, some customers use them for a gun case, it's a nice little bonus.

Really looking forward to installing this, Doug. Thanks for your help getting this to me. The quality looks even better than you described.

Now I just need that fuel adapter ring . . .

Thank you! Did you place the order for the fuel ring already with Chris?

The flywheel is actually Billet steel.


Dont feel bad about the wood case for the single, I had a customer ask for any extra's we had of them and he made a wine bottle rack out of them and put them in his dinning room. When I first heard that I kind of scratched my head thinking "who would want clutch cases in their dining room?" but it actually looked very nice when he was done.

Chris hasn't gotten back to me with the part number to order yet.

Btw, the wife claimed dibs on the case the second she saw it.

Hmmm, what upgrades could be on their way that would make the Mantic 9000 Series Dual Disc Clutch and LG CF drive shaft be necessary?

Chris told me he spoke to you via email today, if not PM me and I'll get it taken care of for you. BTW, if you would like another case I can ship the fuel block in one, just cover the shipping. We end up with a bunch of them from installs.

I just need the part number for the fuel block to order it and yes, I'll take another case - just let me know what the shipping is for it. In fact, I'll pay for two of them.

Same here Matt.. The hinges and one of the wooden sides was broken up also, but no damage to the contents. Clutch is installed and I love it, yes it does take a little getting used to though.
