Reds Racing clutch retainer screws

Reds Racing’s new clutch retainer screws have been designed to provide maximum efficiency. They decided to use Titanium Grade 5 6Al4V over steel due to its high resistance and low weight. The total length of the screw is 10mm, 7mm of which are threaded. This means that the screw protrudes only 3mm from the crankshaft. In this way, you won’t risk any impact on the tank in case of chassis deformation. Moreover, these screws were designed to avoid any rubbing between the bearing and bell. In addition to that, the external diameter of the screws protects the bearing from dust and foreign bodies.

However, these plans were changed slightly with 2wd as the UK storms swept across the Country. Heavy rain was falling that much outside that the roof and drainage system couldn’t cope, so as some rain came in on the track area it was decided to move straight to finals after 4wd qualifying was complete and abandon 2wd qualifying.
