Just in the process of fitting a yamaha R1 5pw engine into the MK indy and am looking to uprate the clutch and fit a baffle plate,baffle plate is straight forward i know but with regards to the clutch do you guys just put barnett spring kits in or the full barnett clutch kit inc plates ect??? also i know this should go in the wanted section but if anyone has anything surplus to requirements regarding the above beer tokens waiting!

Personally I Hate Barney Clutches and all things they sell. Overpriced Low Quality Over Hyped Crap IMO.
But Hey! How can all that advertising be wrong?

And a differing opinion

I put a full Barnett conversion in mine and it was great

You need the full kit which replaces the diaphragm spring arrangement
with a 6 radial spring arrangement like a traditional bike clutch.
Use the OEM plates not Barnett ones , reports are the Barnett ones
slip too easily.
I've got a pic of my installation if you want it.

aother vote here for the Barrnett - awesome bit of kit with new OEM frictions. I used the bronze springs and did loads of track work and ring trips

Hi, I have a Barnett clutch my 4XV powered race car, the thing is like a on/off switch but never had clutch slip.
