Message	The pressure the crank gets has to do with the ratio used to release the disc. I do not think it is possible to have a good enough release ratio to allow a 4000 lb clamp load to release. RPS also moved the pivot point of the casting to allow better release ratio many years ago on the Z plates. Again when you make enough HP to need a 4000 lb clamp load you would want to use at least a twin disc. A twin disc doubles the torque capacity using the same clamp load. A twin disc is a much better solution and would also provide less wear due to more friction area.

(Specialty-Z) 19:15:36 02/17/08 I don't know about that. The pivot point or fulcrum - AZHeat 19:54:13 02/17/08 Your looking at it wrong I think....... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:05:25 02/17/08 remember the pressure comes from compressing - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:24:21 02/17/08 Gotcha, makes sense now. - AZHeat 20:30:28 02/17/08 You would not want to use a 4000 LBS clamp load..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:24:14 02/17/08 No doubt there. - Spddracer 18:36:36 02/17/08 Who is "we"?Do you work for SouthBend or help in the design?

(Specialty-Z) 18:18:14 02/17/08 Mitsubishi what? (n/m) - Spddracer 18:19:35 02/17/08 I would have to ask RPS. I do remember him telling me it was - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:41:45 02/17/08 Doesn't look the same. Did they change later? - DVDBURN (MD) 18:38:36 02/17/08 That is a generic picture of the Carbon..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:43:08 02/17/08 Ah... - DVDBURN (MD) 18:46:12 02/17/08 Our plate is not a Mitsu pressure plate. (n/m) - Spddracer 18:43:21 02/17/08 Sure looks just like the plate RPS uses in the Z Carbon (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:45:54 02/17/08 Could be, No idea what RPS uses in that kit. - Spddracer 18:51:43 02/17/08 I hope not! - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:53:59 02/17/08 I thought you just said you used this same plate - Spddracer 19:03:23 02/17/08 Southbend plate does look like the Carbon plate... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:07:54 02/17/08 And maybe RPS did not use it because of its cost. - Spddracer 19:27:21 02/17/08 wrong...... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:40:38 02/17/08 Is the Carbon carbon a push release or pull release type? (n/m) - AZHeat 18:42:16 02/17/08 Push (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:44:01 02/17/08 dxd-fx ftw!
