Just thought I'd stop by and let you all know about a new item Kennedy Engineered Products is coming out with. I am the clutch manager here and it was brought to my attention that some of the 914 guys would like a lighter pressure plate since Sachs stopped making theirs. Ours will be out in a month or so but for now I'm only making 50. Ours will make the stock clutch 3 pounds lighter than the original and comes in 2 load ratings for now. We call them Stage 1 and Stage 2 . They have a hard Tungston/Cobalt wear surface. Anyone have any interest or thoughts?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/jsharp.gif) Welcome to the 914 Club Board, I have used your flywheels, clutch packages, etc on a couple of projects. Always worked well and were engineered the right way.

I have not been in contact with Kennedy for several years but always get the "old man". I really enjjoy talking to him, getting some of his vast knowledge, and gruff/grumpy personality. He is one great guy.

Mr. Kennedy is doing good, although last year took a spill and tore something in his knee. He had surgery but hasn't been quite the same since. He is a great man and I'm proud to say I have worked with him for 20+ years. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks for the vote of confidence. We do try to make the best possible parts we can... and always listen to our customers thoughts and opinions.
