| I've found a place near Glasgow that will re-line your clutch plate for £75 +VAT. I've just had a pair done. 3.2 mm thick lining, 8.4 mm overall thickness, which is in spec according to my manual.
Given all the problems with SACHS clutches, riveted the wrong way etc, I was thinking it might be a good idea to see if any others want a clutch plate re-lined, and get a batch done.
I gave them two of the original design plates, with only 4 springs, that do NOT have issues with being riveted the wrong way round, though I'm sure they'd also do the 6 spring SACHS plates as well, wrong rivets and all.
E mail me on andydeans3, then Gmail.

| They should be able to fix the incorrectly riveted plates, it's nothing complicated.

| Melle. If I get any wrongly riveted plates, I'll ask them. They may want a correctly riveted plate to work from.

| Hi Andy Questmead do all my competition clutches and can make just about anything. Organic relining done on my 96 plate this week was £62.60 posted back to me next day. Their work is excellent and materials of the highest quality. They are also the most helpful people to deal with.

| Gavinc I went to this outfit in Cumbernauld, because I could drive over there in an hour, and do the same picking up. They did a good job, though perhaps I should wait till get the whole caboodle back in the car on Tuesday, before saying that! Andy

| Melle I've seen that photo on the thread that you have highlighted. Chap in Spain posted it I think.
If I have cause to go back over to Cumbernauld, I may take my wrongly riveted SACHS plate, and the photo, to see if they can re-rivet it for me.

| Shoestring. Have you got a photo? Does it have 4 or 6 springs? If it has 6 springs, are the 2 parts riveted together, the right way round?

| 4 springs means no problems with rivets!
