If you are waiting on a reply via email then it is your fault you haven't heard back yet. CALL Peter, he spends all day everyday on the phone and you can not rely on email for something this important.

My OFE rated at 450, held 650+ with no issues. I just replaced it with a dual disk, and there is hardly any wear to it at all.

Any of you guys ever heard of spinning the center out of these con fe clutches? I have several buddies that have spun theirs. The clutch held great until that.
