914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Clutch disc question

Alright new thread about a clutch disc I bought on ebay. Just wondering why it has no springs. Seller said it would fit a 914.

Found this on Tunacan whilst researching my 'new' 914 engine options--

When it comes to clutch discs, there isn't much choice. For the larger size (210mm-228mm) the selections are pretty limited to the stock discs. The only things to keep in mind is selecting a rigid vs. a sprung disc and the quality of the disc. The sprung disc features springs in the clutch disc that makes engagement smoother and relieves the drivetrain the shock of the abrupt engagement. The problem is that with "spirited" driving the springs can fail.

Thanks for the link, looks like it is a rigid disc.

Wonder how hard it will be on the engine/tranny?
