So there are two different parts with different heights of post. Can I just remove the excess height. The material looks to be hard.
depending how hard*, you could definitely do that but added complication arises because you might** have to extend thread depth whichever end you shorten and possibly restore the "spanner flats" for tightening. Depending on* would be a stroll in the park for final edition or Jamie Clare on here, but with all the faff probably easier to get correct ones. ** EDIT it's possible the posts are tapped right thro'.
Correct me if you think this idea to be crazy ! How about turning another set of inserts basically aluminium tubes which fit snuggly into the spring recess of the performance plate. This should bring the spring back to original working length. Just an idea ?
Not sure why you’d go to all that bother when you can pick up stuff like this, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-916-748-Slipper-Clutch-Corse-194-1-012-1-A0/184335416693?hash=item2aeb3f3d75:g:j90AAOSw5KVe7lee&LH_ItemCondition=4.Andy
OK see where your coming from, but I do have a spare OEM basket and plates and just thought it would be a worth while exercise. Currently watching the above though. Thanks for you help. Buy the way would the eBay item except OEM 748r plates ?
Whilst slagged off by many for its simplicity, your spare OE 748R slipper parts are worth more than the later Ergal parts. If the friction plates you have are sintered on a steel backing, they are not compatible with the parts on eBay. The later DP Ergal basket and centre would wear very quickly. The Ergal DP clutch friction plates are on an aluminium backing. Whilst the pressure plates are steel, the mixture of steel and aluminium gives the DP a life of roughly 10,000 miles (obviously riding style dependant) but steel and steel reduce that to about 6000 miles.
