Cheers for the input guys. Someone else mentioned blasting the steels too. But they are quite blue from the heat and and my mate who's sorting it for me thought they're past their best.
It's interesting what you say Fontty about the inner most steel plate. As I've made a stock enquiry with Lings and the thin steel plate and the damper friction plate are both poss hard to get and they won't know until they place the order.
Also those little damper o ring things are well expensive @£10.78 each and will need four.
The bike (Tom's old MC28 sp) didn't have the damper friction plate and damper o rings in there and it didn't sound too loud. So I'm wondering if these two single items (thin steel and damper friction) and the damper rings were left out and replaced with normal friction and steel plates if it would make a difference. Or could or should I file a standard friction plate to fit the damper rings if this item is no longer available?
Going to see if Jap4performance have their kit in stock as the only diff they have is they list 6 standard steels as opposed to the 5 & 1.
