I have seen a few clutch covers that have been drilled now, like mikes below.



is there a rule of thumbs on how many / how big to make holes, should you think about a mesh on the inside? what are the advantages / disadvantages ?

I dont think it matters tbh, ive seen miglia covers with massive holes. Also i personally wouldnt put mesh behind the holes.

dont put anything that shouldnt be in there allready *wink* you dont want bits dropping in there and then being catapulted about the casing by the flywheel. if you are concerned when building it, just pop a cloth over the end casing until you have finnished with all the nut and bolt jobs :)

the mesh idea was more related to everyday running incase something got in thru the grill and ended up going thru a hole.

i might have a go a drilling mine, what drill bit is recomended

After reading through the threads minimole linked, what is the actual point in drilling holes in the cover?

I know clutches get hot so vent holes will help yadda yadda, but will it actually help that much? Theres a breather off the clutch housing doesnt that do the job?

With no inner wings myself i dont think ill be doing this clutch cover mod, what about condensation and dirt and shite?

Mind you the only thing i can think might be effected is the crank seal lol. Im just not sure i see the benefits, can anyone explain?

Looks cool though!

the vent above the clutch is for the transfer gears bud, the vents in the wok is just to keep the clutch a little cooler, they can get quite toasty
