What clutch (212mm) to get?

there is a flaw in the design of most of the clutch covers for the 4AGE engines... The plate is mounted to the sprung section using 3 metal straps. On acceleration, the straps are under tension so there isn't a huge problem... BUT when the stress is the other direction... the straps are under compression... and can... and DO bend! This will toss the entire engine, and drivetrain balance SERIOUSLY out of wack....

*IF* you have the scratch... the OS Giken design is undoubtedly the best out there...
