“We have had a long relationship with Gerace Restorations and enjoy working with such a highly regarded restoration shop to ensure they get the components they require to get these incredible vehicles back to driving like new,” explains Brenton Jordan, Australian Clutch Services Managing Director, “Our Classic Clutch range of products has been developed specifically to support the restoration industry with rare or obsolete clutch components often readily available on the shelf. We also offer to rebuild services for some clutch kits where the items are simply no longer available.”

Australian Clutch Services provided a factory-style twin plate clutch for the Bathurst car including all of the associated hardware such as pressure plate bolts, spacers, and bearings. “Often people believe that multi-plate clutch kits are a relatively new technology,” says Brenton. “However multi-plate clutches have been available for many decades and were popular for these types of applications due to the torque from these engines.”

Classic Clutch offer clutch kits for vehicles from around the world and from almost every decade of motoring history. “We have provided clutch kits for some of the rarest vintage cars on the planet, classic formula one cars and even army tanks,” says Brenton. “Our range is constantly under development and we are also looking for modern solutions for applications where the components are no longer available on the world market.”
