Clutch can weights

Another question that hopefully someone will have an answer...

Does anyone know the weight of the following -

- 6.2 Trick Titanium 7 1/2 or 8 1/8 can

- 6.2 Browell Steel 7 1/2 can (this is what we use now)

Or even a rough guess on weight difference, 30+lbs?

 

weight difference

steel browel 8 1/8 v/s trick ti 8 1/8 6.2 sfi with all hardware is 14 lb difference sorry about you 30 lb wish(if only)

 

lakewood steel 8-1/8 to browell aluminum 8-1/8 both 6.3 cert 34lb difference at least thats what browell tells me.

 

Only 14? Damn, wish it was more.

 

Seen them aluminium ones, anyone use them on here?

 

You sure you just need a 6.2? even in our N20 super mod we needed 6.3, and we has a lot less horses and we wasnt sitting astride our lenco /drive shaft

Got me paranoid now

Yeah just checked, from rules...

FLYWHEEL SHIELD: TOP METHANOL DRAGSTER & TOP METHANOL FUNNY CAR
TMD and TMFC cars equipped with a clutch must have a flywheel shield (bellhousing) that meets SFI Spec 6.2 and is labeled accordingly. All requirements for TMD and TMFC bellhousing installations are the same as TF & FC with the following exceptions:

Same as current can but we want a lighter one.

 

Reply sent. Thanks.

 

ok cool im just surprised as your a lot closer to the clutch than we are and as i said a n20 car needs 6.3 a pro mod be it nn20 or blower is 6.3 i can understant the dragster being less spec as you dont ride along sitting with your legs wraped round the can but TMFC??? now that is wierd

 

Just read Pro mod rules, thats bizarre,

 

so did i just to be sure i wasnt dreaming but 6.3 it is

 

I think you will find the 6.3 spec is for a can with a starter pocket, 6.2 is a higher rated can and has horizontal ribs on outside If you need a s/pocket order your can with these outer ribs it is much safer and will still pass 6.3

 

Here is a very nice 6.2 aluminum bellhousing from Lakewood that weighs only 25 LBS and feature a titanium explosion proof liner, and dose not have a starter pocket. If you need a starter pocket Lakewood can and will do custom jobs might make you a 6.3

You will get the whole Lakewood Catalog with this link. The aluminum bellhousing is on page 6

 

Doesn't someone make an aluminum/fiber bellhousing, I searched but can't seem to find anything on it.

So if the alum ones are 25 lbs total about how much are the steel, titanium and alum/fiber ones weigh?

Aluminum

Do the aluminum ones have a tendency to crack?

 

I have an aluminum one in my pro mod and like it. . no cracks here.
