Pretty sure a standard basket will be ok, then you can add a uprated clutch and barnett springs if you want

Plenty of choice on ebay.

It is a pain getting the pin to line up.

Pull the pin out as far as possible, then looking into the cover twiddle the arm to the fully open position then line up and push the cover on until it nearly home then use the clutch arm to pull the cover home, you can feel the tangs engage in the slot.

If the pin is a loose fit in the bearing I use a little blob of super glue to hold it in place on the inside of the bearing as sometimes the pin just gets shoved backwards whatever I seem to do.

Regards Mark

Good job you didn't buy them , they wouldn't fit.

Look for ET38 for a MAC#1.

Did you check thicknesses of all plates were within spec?
Also did you check total height of clutch pack was within spec?
What engine did you put in?

But plates could be worn beyond spec, if you haven't checked they are within specs this could be the issue.

Meant to put 'oil' in the previous question!!!
If you've used fully synthetic it can cause clutch slip.

I think quite a few people have had issues with fully synthetic.

I've been using a decent spec Castrol semi synthetic and not had any issues in my 954 blade engine. Standard plates and Barnett springs. Is probably the most used combination, so as Kev says, if the plates are in spec it shouldn't be that causing the issue.
