Exchange rate can't be great right now am sure I paid around 550 delivered for mine

550 sounds fair lol not 683!! Was that for the silent one?

[Mike-530]

Remember to add an extra 20% to the total.

With 20 percent added, that makes it about 820!! How come it doesn't say in the checkout about import? Where do i add it on?

DHL will contact you to make the import duty payment once they have your item

Because DHL pay all the fees on your behalf then charge you before they will deliver it I payed £150 extra on top to get my cage would have been more but I emailed rhd to see if they could send me an invoice with a lower value to get import tax down

Ok boss. I think im going to give that a try. Just sucks how you would have to pay about 200 quid for delivery lol.

Cheers for the info lad!👍

I purchased another box locally and another spec 6 clutch. Rebuilt the car and identical tapping noise occurred resulting to stripped input shaft and clutch hub splines again. Starting to get really expensive and annoying. Anyone came across similar damage or know anything? I can only think something is not aligned correct.

Sorry dont know how to upload pics.

Thanks

Mike

general question as you seem to have been sorted advice wise----is this a solid disc or "spring-centre" clutch?

Both sprung bud. As supplied by td, who built the car.

Thanks

Nice mate. Im from broughton astley near lutterworth if you have heard of it lol? Where u near? Will have to meet up for some race wars if i ever get this thing back on the road lol. Owned it for about 3 years drove it for about 6 month because it keeps breaking 😂

[H_D]

[Mike-530]

Ive seen bad things about comp clutches too

same I've seen a lot of bad reviews a about cc the only good thing is cc customer service is ment to be really good and they always send replacement parts straight away with no messing about free of charge obviously still sucks if you got to pay labour to have it changed again

Ok mate. Still good to know! Definitely going down the ORC route tho. Just a bit costly lol. With lowering the import tax, think its still going to cost 700 😞

There's numerous ways to do it, either with a tool or cowboy style. The latter can be found on google lol

[Mike-530]

Haha ok pal. Likeing the sound of cowboy style if it means i can save on costs lol.

[Whitenoize]

Good choice dude 👍

Not cowboy as such, more creative methods using spanners and bolts lol
