Nice clutches. Face plates tend to crack around the mounting bolts. TT2 makes a great TI replacement face plate which is available at DDM for 25.00 usd.
when you get it you have to build it first. easy to do, but can be a bit confusing for new folks. setting your adjustment screws on the spring at 1 full turn in will be around 6000 rpm engaugement, 1 1/4 is about 7200 rpm, 1 1/2 in woud be close to 8500 rpm. i would say go for about 1 1/4 for normal use.

ys i have had both and my i also preferr the LB clutch i jut found the wear wasnt as fast on the LB is all , the elcon never cracked on mine ..
The Elcon clutch has changed a bit. I know the materials have become a bit stronger, but mainly the shoes are now white instead of black. I have the older style with black shoes and the the new white style came with the Elcon Cleon. I don't know if you can buy it separately.

i have the elcon clutch with the titanium bash plate , i have never had any issues with it. the only issue i can see that i will have is geting the main unit off the engine [ for those who have a elecon clutch will know] .

I say ELCON, with Titanium plat. The LC I heard about not tried, but god revues of both.
Elcon clutch
So now we can see where we talking about. :cool2:
Th Elcon clutch is designed to work in sand conditions and for continue working in this conditions.
Elcon clutch
Elcon is the last time still further developed and the most thought out.
So a new pair of lightweight shoes.

About Loctite.
All bolts can remove Loctite able to put down. In the
popularly called the blue variant, without even warming up to solve.
The main bold we always turn to his death late in the clutch,
with Loctite in the clutch, without Loctite in the crankshaft.
The set screws for tension of the springs.
This Loctite we (really all bolts so).
In general we run with 1 full stroke preload (rather depends
of circuits and conditions).
Setting:
If you set the bolt first impression that this dish clearly
road printed full back and running again impression than the time
"feel" to which he touched the dish. You can also see the
side, but "feel" is more delicate and sight.
From here one (1) full swing in running.
There are people who believe more than 2 turns to turn the screws.
Here is a critical point reached.
By the spring where for tense can block height to be printed on
when the coupling segments to go outside come.
The springs are compressed (block height is the length of the spring that
remains when all adjacent windings).
At that time, the segment does not go out and will move
not fully sufficient pressure or force against the clutch bell to
lie. The clutch remains (half) slip.
This slip gives a lot of unnecessary heat and the clutch will burnt
themselves up. The area burned and the graphite filling in the shoe
in this type of shoe for a large part for the heat removal allows
burned it. Soon it will also break through teflon shoe
overheating.
I recommend it not more than 1.75 to turn the screw in.
Drilling a hole in the clutch bell on the spot where the bolts are set
there is a simple but useful addition. You can always
something to disassemble your holding point adjust from outside without
everything to disassemble. Hole on the inside of the clock after
pierce well deburring of course!
Springs.
There is only one galvanized spring included in the new series.
That this stugger as the black feathers that were previously well
is a myth. Indeed it is exactly the same spring only for
now a protective layer of zinc instead of a black appearance.
Reason that the longer spring is taken out is simple, almost nobody
used that spring.
Finally I can give that an upgrade for the shoe.
The new implementation is just a later engagement point and
white in color and is a superior kind of teflon products. With
these new segments is the engagement point leave and find more
place in the area where the engine provides more torque. This promotes
acceleration.
The black segments remain available and are excellent
useful in slippery conditions.
The new version is white against the black version that is a lot aggressiever.
I have translated to English, so there can errors in it.
If someone can do it better, do it!
