Status: offline 		I'm trying to find the clutch mod where you drill a hole, put a screw in and cut it. Then you put teflon on the outside edges. If anyone know's about this anything would help. It's to help 3rd gear kick in.

Thanks.

When I get back from our monthly Crawling clinic at the LHS this afternoon I will see if I can find it...

Edit Added: That mod was created by PPMan..

Good luck, didn't come up on the search

I can't believe how many things have CEN in them. I google my yahoo untill I had hotbot all over the place and I couldn't find anything. Movie time, my brain needs some off time.

I remember most I think. The one thing hanging me up is what kind of screw was used, wood or metal, and I think the hole he drilled got filled with expoxy before the screw went in.

Maybe it's time for some ginkgo and coffee

I think when the Cen Forum was down, they started back up from scratch. I couldn't find some old stuff

I remember it, but not clearly. I'm sure it was a cut off piece of metal screws/bolts covered with expox to hold them in the shoes.

Then cover the sides you drilled with teflon and install.

So it's...
Hole(don't know size)...
Expoxy screw in hole, let dry...
Cut screw flush...
Cover sides showing screw with teflon/resin and install...

Status: offline 		I remember the mod clearly. I could do it competely from memory.. but.... The sides were covered with flexibe carbon sheets epoxied on the shoe after running 2 screws in and cutting heads off flush. Simple mod really, the point is to add a touch of weight an the carbon mat is to keep shoe together at high speeds..
