RE: Ofna Alum. blue Clutch Shoes??
Yes..........i run them now in mine and as your other post the springs need to be modded to fit right or buy the ofna/mugan flywheel nut.
These are also MUCH better than the GPM alloy shoes as they seem very soft.
The ofna shoes come in two diferent weights with two sets of springs...........ATM im using the purple shoes with the black springs and i never used the washers as it gives me more adjustment with the bell.
If you use the washers they go on the flywheel pins before the shoes go on.
Hope this helps

i actually found these shoes to be quite crappy. I thought they would hold up better, but mine got worn down. I think mugen supposedly makes shoes out of hard aluminum.

RE: Ofna Alum. blue Clutch Shoes??
I have these same clutch shoes and springs and they installed just fine on the stock flywheel nut. I used the black springs and I didn't use the washers. I am very happy with them. I can set my throttle trim to a very high idle and the shoes don't engage (good for warming up the motor). I've only got about 10 tanks of gas on them so we'll have to see just how long the do hold up. Especially the way I drive.[&:]

...and as it is, the Mugen shoes are what all of my BBs sport.
