Hello quick question, I have two sets of clutch discs and am wondering since in one set the friction disc core material is some sort of fiber board type of stuff (think circuit board material) and on the other set its steel, both are good just wondering which I should use? Is there difference and what it might be?
Also... Hello! it's my first post on here. I bought a T500 -73 just this autumn an am doing an engine rebuild on it. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt somewhere and that was done in all kinds of wrong ways...so now I'm trying to do it the right way.

Yes I know that, what I meant is that I have two sets of friction discs an the core material (NOT friction material) is different others is steel the others are this composite fibrous material. In picture on left fibrous core discs on right metal core ones and yes there in no metal in the left ones I checked with magnet.

Ok it just seems weird to me that since all the power is transmitted by the tabs to the transmission and the tabs on the left one seem to be this composite all the way thru, I just wonder about how they hold up. I guess they do hold since these ones are used and they would not wear the clutch basket so much as metal ones.
I do remember stripping an engine at some point in the past (cannot remember what or when) with friction disks like that. At least one of the plates was cracked right through so they are certainly more fragile than the bonded steel ones. As you say. would be much kinder to the basket but if they break with abuse then that's not so good.
