I feel your pain - but it is at least a heroic wound.

In my conversations with Gamberini, the Italian engine builders a few years ago, they were not happy to supply an uprated Aurelia engine without also supplying a 'special' clutch plate with uprated springs as the clutch was seen as a weak point when there is extra power. They also strongly suggested fitting larger Flaminia type inner drive shafts to the transaxle.
