There is a JWT clutch and FW for sale but the disk has taken what looks like a drop or a hit from something and now has a defect.

Is this still usable?

 

As long as the disk is still flat and true, I wouldn't give it a second thought - maybe clean that edge up with a file and use it.

 

Have you seen the cracked out portion by the rivet behind the frayed edge? That is almost what worries me more. The other side is flawless however.

 

Can't really see that detail in the pic, and thought it was only the frayed edge that was a concern. If the rivet is cracked, and there's a possibility of the friction material separating from the backing plate, that's a whole different matter, and I would probably not use that disk. Lots of labor to install that part, as compared to the low cost for a new, undamaged part.

 

True. I ended up sending this pic to JWT and they had an engineer look at it. He was able to see the crack since he got the full file and said he didnt recommend using it. Not worth the what if, if it turned out bad.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

Good job doing your homework and saving yourself some future problems.
