Those look VERY VERY VERY similar to this Textralia! From AandA.

Anyone know what the deal is here?!

Because of the cost of labor for a clutch install and the risk of vibration consequences, I'd suggest resisting the temptation of buying a clutch from an untested source. Kinda like buying a kidney or liver on ebay.

You are better off buying true component from a trusted source and even then having the rotating parts balanced by a good machine shop prior to installation. If you're skeptical that's necessary, do a search of the C5 tech archives for the words Clutch AND Vibration, then set aside a few hours for reading.

I will be unpacking a Textralia today and will take pics. That defiantly looks like a Textralia. My idea is that if I were, The add would say so.
