Monocog007, please do let me know. I appreciate it.

I was a little skeptical at first but it makes sense. The factory confirmed that this was the case. What I did is wipe off the loose fibers and installed it.

I will say I don't think mine was quite as rough. Maybe half as much or so. It's possible yours got jostled around in shipping and broke more fibers loose?

Kuksul08, this makes alot of sense, the lathe turned friction plate. Turning the disc could likely cause the material to chip away. Excellent point.

I can confirm mine looks the same. There was some light shavings in the bag, and the ring looked exactly like kuksul08 mentions, with lathe marks in the inside.

I spoke with the seller. He was very helpful and offered to replace the friction plate. Ultimately in the end I decided to keep it. Worse case scenario I'll throw another disc on the lathe and make a new one. The judder spring was the main piece I was needing. But, as most have said, it probably will not be an issue.

I admit I am a slow learner but, kuksul08, are these your kits?

I have an additional question, is everyone using the 4 spring spacers?

I contacted the seller and got him to source the parts for us and arranged the group purchase, but no they are not made by me. My parts are the auxiliary lights and instrument panel protectors.

The spacers.. I used them, but I don't think it really matters. Up to you.

Is there a chance that your vendor could continue to import these kits? I sure love mine, and I'm confident that more of them would sell.

I ordered some 3mm rod from Ebay as it seems to be the only place i can find it. Unfortunately it's coming from fricking China and has not yet arrived(8 weeks later!!!). Has anyone found a source that actually ships from the USA?

TIA
