Any chance of a photo Niels?

Chris,  I have a sintered clutch disc I bought from Cavalitto. Works really well, you can feel the drive is 'locked' when engaged, rather than that horrible 'porridge' feeling as the plates spin.

Another set of disc brakes on an Aurelia, also a 2nd series B20, also fitted with a 2.5 l engine. At least they are not ventilated Porsche ones!

The transformation was done in the early 60ies in Switzerland, and the car is still going well! It also passes the swiss technical inspection, which is rather thorough!

Next time I se the car on a lift, I shall try to document the mounting of the caliper.

This is the brake disc on my car, looks like a Flaminia hub, Girling caliper, Carbonne Lorainne pads  (works really well, dont tell Vincenzo )

Its reminding me of being pleased with a hotter cam, then wanting the close ratio gears.  As you ponder where to stop often as not you wish you hadn't started.

Yep,  but that was the last straw.  That was an old photo of the original clutch, which has since been replaced by the sintered one, which has done a  2 complete season with no issues. The pot joint would have failed anyway, since the boot had burst, and shed its oil. I'm considering replacing the pot joints with 'hardy spicer' type. There was an article in Viva Lancia a while back, where the plate which is bolted to the hubs was re-made to accept a hardy spicer joint, and a modified shaft from a Sierra Cosworth was fitted to the original outer shaft, using sliding splines.
