Thanks for that picture Dave.  I can see that the 'three rivets' in question seem to be holding the outer ring onto the inner ring, not the friction material onto the outer ring, so that has cleared up my understanding. 

Great stuff, thanks!

I think you have hit the proverbial nail when you say 'how the hell is three rivets supposed to hold it in place' . . .hence the disintegration issues!

Hello George, I believe the 3 or 16 rivets refers to the number of rivets used to fix the friction material to the clutch plate.  There have been issues with the 3 rivet item disintegrating, so Tim is advising to make sure I get a 16 rivet plate - at least this is my take on his advice.  

Hi Tim and thanks for the response.  I dont actually know the power output of my car, its bored out to 2.2l has mikuni carbs neuman ph2 cam, flowed head and electronic ignition.  It drives really nicely and feels quite torquey - the clutch was an (now obvious) oversight! I'll contact Dave Harvey and see if he can help with an AP item.  I managed to find a product by a company called 'Black Diamond'  https://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprated/black-diamond-stage-2-kevlar-clutch-kits/triumph/gt6.html but before spending my money I thought I'd get some advice form people with experience. Paul.  

Evening all, Well it has finally hit me that in less then 4 months I shall be undertaking my first RBRR!  I have been ticking off jobs on my long long list, however last weekend a new job was added when I felt the clutch slip. My car is quite heavily modified, but running a standard clutch, so I want to fit a new uprated clutch plate and spring.  Can anyone advise of a decent brand and a retailer from where I can get something suitable?  I haven't really found Google to be of much help.   Cheers.
