  • Raptor clutch in a knight

    It seems to me that a raptor v2 clutch is the same size, and in fact perhap interchangeable, wih a knight 3D clutch.
    Is this true?
    Is anyone using a raptor v2 clutch in a knight?

    Maybe I should just try it and see...

    just did a wee search and found a thread on RR where a guy successfully fitted a quick UK heavy duty raptor clutch in his knight.
    hope that helps

            Is it snapping? This would suggest the gap to the liner is too big. Have you tried fitting a new liner with a smaller gap? I just wrap the clutch with a single layer of the thick plastic electricians tape and push it into the bell to set the gap.

              I tried one about a year and a half ago when I was going through loads of clutches. I think it was due to a bad batch, I cant remember now.
