Surflex 5 plate clutch

[Knowledge]

I have used Surflex five plate clutches with success in the past but I resent buying a full kit with springs and steel plates when I only need corks.

I tried buying individual BGM cork plates (2.5mm) but they were not quite as good and the steel ears are a bit soft.

Can you now buy Surflex cork plates (2.5mm) individually? If so, where?

If I might answer my own question, I am going to try MB’s six plate clutch corks at about £27 delivered.

They should work and are significantly cheaper than a Surflex 5 plate kit at £80. Of course, it should be as it has no steels and no springs (but the Surflex kit has one cork plate less than I actually need)

I've bought individual corks and plates from camlam before. From memory they weren't advertised on their Web pages but I ordered by phone. I THINK they were surflex but can't be sure.

Answering your own questions is okay... it's when you sit up in bed at night telling yourself jokes you haven't heard before, that's when you need to worry!
