my comments reflect Reg's latest de-chav exploits... expertly revising his rear, shaping his back end with a tasteful moulded extension, with a bent deep stance ready to receive a couple of big pipes with shiney tips..... this is right up Reg's alley and a typical signature addition?

Just eyeing it up earlier, it looks like the cross bar that the ball mounts to will foul the bumper - it either needs to be moved back. The westy unit is integrated into the factory bumper irons so starts from a better position to begin with.

A test fitting is in order.
Shame - I recently sold an original integrated VW bumber / towbar to Cali Campers for £80.
Returning to clutch info for a mo, I thought I pass on some in my notes re the SRE 240mm version,
I must of spoken to Ryan at Darkside, as they use a LUK DMF with a Sachs SRE kit for a 5 speed AXG/AHY, these are their tested max's
Sachs 240mm Organic Disc will hold 377Ft/Lbs (510Nm) , so 90Nm more than the marketed 220 & 228mm versions
Sachs 240mm Sintered Paddle Disc will hold 555Ft/Lbs (750Nm) , so 230Nm! more than the marketed 220 & 228mm versions
£950+VAT!!!
The 6 speed parts are rated higher, think the 02Q gearboxes are officially rated to 350Nm.
Sach 240mm Organic Disc will hold 407Ft/Lbs (520Nm)
Sachs 240mm Sintered Paddle Disc will hold 592Ft/Lbs (800Nm)
r = 114 mm / r = 120 mm
C = 716 mm / C = 754 mm
A = 40800 mm2 / A = 45200 mm2
10.8% area increase
Could be any number of things? DMF , age of the components at the time of testing, map on the tested vehicle? Gearbox gave up or maxed out.... just thought the numbers were useful.
Sachs rate the organic plate at 520Nm for the AXG/AHY.
I may not of been clear in previous clutch threads but the AXG / AHY uses the identical friction plate (Hub Profile 21.8x24.2-23N 23 teeth) required for the GRF gearbox.
According to SRE the organic clutch on the 6 speed box is rated to 520+Nm & 800+Nm with the paddle using the Sachs DMF (Std OEM on 2.0TDi although there's also OEM LUK option for this engine/gearbox). SRE also supply a lightened SMF (6 bolt, 7.5KG) for the 2.0TDi but the ratings drop to 600Nm with the paddle.
