Sorry to hear it.  Pretty sure I can't help re: the clutch, but i'll have another root through my clutch bits boxes for a spare one tomorrow. Have you tried Webbs or Fowlers for price and availability? It'd probably be quicker than waiting for Ric to sort it and get the new one to you I'd think? In fairness I've generally heard consistently good things about accu-products, so maybe you have just been unlucky this time? And he's geared more towards the TZ stuff really rather than the road bike bits which won't have helped...  It's horrible when you open a long waited for parcel and it turns out to be the wrong bit though, so I feel for you. I'm guessing you wouldn't mind so much if was winter, but in the (way too short) summer it's a pain in the arse, isn't it? Cheers Wb -------------- A garage overflowing with old stinkers...

They should be about  20-35 quid a piece (the bigger one being the more expensive one). And the seals are somewhere between £10 and 20 from Trollopes if I recall. Or are you talking different parts? (not sure what you mean by locking tabs). Might be an idea to make sure Ric knows it's a wet clutch hub you are after - the dry one is entirely different... And if he thinks TZR ones are the same as TZ ones (which they aint), he must be thinking dry clutch I'd think? But surely a part number is a part  number, innit? -------------- A garage overflowing with old stinkers... Back to top

He was obviously operating from memory as his online parts lists show them as different parts. To be honest when I saw the price - $78 I couldn't believe it was right, perhaps there has been a large Fk Up there. Last price I had from him for an SP clutch basket was $US600. I expect there is a premium for SP/SPR stuff. OEM Yamaha local rip off was about $A1200!!! Perhaps the centre boss is cheaper but I wouldn't have thought so. I have a spare clutch as I said which was going into my spare motor and I deliberated over whether I could part with it, but a) you wouldn't have liked the price ! and b) I would be in the same boat finding a replacement. I will have a rummage around and see if there is one tucked away I could part with but don't hold your breath..........
