Positive Heads-Up for parts supplier
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2023 4:33 pm
Blew the clutch on my hillclimb Lola-Porsche at Shelsley Walsh on Saturday last.
There had been a few 'warnings' from the clutch this year, so not too surprised.
I have another major meeting 26/27 Aug so obviously needed a new clutch.
Quickly.
Looking round all the usual suppliers was not inspiring, I wanted to replace the driven plate/cover plate and thrust bearing...I don't know yet what let go, will do this Thursday.
Found heavy duty Sachs driven plates for £330, aluminium covers for the £300 etc so silly money.
Then happend across a supplier I've never heard of before, FRAZERPART up in the Wirral, Merseyside. www.frazerpart.com
They had a 3 piece clutch set, HD for £375.94 delivered to my garage.
Thinking this too good to be true i emailed them via ebay and they confirmed on Monday at 8.30 am they had one, and if I ordered it before 10am I should get it the following day, ie today.
Paid the bill and exactly 24 hours later the clutch arrived, a real Sachs 3 piece aluminium cover HD assembly.
I thought as it is all good news I'd pass this on to you all who may be interested.
