Interest in 8 plate clutch conversions?

Ordered 5 more new Yamaha steels to complete the sets I have. Alto says a 6 to 8 week lead time to order more, my cost hasn't changed prolly need to bump the price a bit cuz well I'm about breaking even on each sale but making it up on volume LOL
Hey Gary - that is very similar to the business model used by General Motors - they lose money on every sale but they make it up by selling a huge volume of cars and trucks.

that puts me down to two sets, barely enough for my own projects, hoovering over the order button.
Will be a month or 3 down the road, but I'll commit to a set for the speed twin.... if that helps your finger.
I've never posted these on fb or fleabay either.
Gotta say dealing with just my buds here on the forum has been painless. Well GLJ forcing me to toddle over to Atlantic Iowa with him to confirm operation but otherwise..........

I ordered one of the 750 kits tonight so I’m gonna need one of these to go with it! I have plenty of steels from dad’s stash so just need the friction plates. Let me know how this works payment wise Gary.
pm sent.
That leaves one more set, guess we know whats next.

Ok i ordered 40 SETS. 7 sets should be here in a week or so, the rest in April .
Pricing in USD, current as of 2-2021
8 Alto frictions shipped to USA address $100
add for one new Yamaha steel $10
Shipping overseas; at actual cost - the $8 US shipping cost
Shipping is in a padded priority envelope so you can check a price to your country I will make customs forms at the correct selling price.
I bought and sold out of 25 sets in 2020 and ordered 40 more sets as of 2-2021
This is known to work in 74-79 clutches later clutch baskets need to be machined to remove the half plate and spring and accept 8 plates. I have not tried a set in an early basket yet.

heading to Madison anytime soon? I just picked up some Barnett springs and should probably do this as well.
I should have a stock of Alto plates and Yamaha steels by Monday. I normally get to Madison every other week or so. But the shipping is not expensive and included in the price.
Four sets shipped Friday, thanks guys!
Got new shipments of plates and steels today so the store is open again.
I got in 8 sets of plates with a possible European buyer for 4, 4 sets still available.
When these are gone Alto says 45 to 60 days for the rest of my plate order to be produced.

Btw - how long should I be soaking them?
Not sure?
Confession I just threw the set in Madness dry no problems. But I will soak the next set....
Guess I think a couple hours would be plenty.
This covers the gamut. LOL

No matter what you do, it won't be "wrong"
