Walt,
Where have you had the all Aluminum PP refurbished?
I have a used one I just picked up that I would like to investigate a resurface with.
Thanks!

Here is the deal on Sachs pressure plates for (older) 911s:



2.8 RSR aluminum/aluminum sprayed wear surface: 4 pounds

2.7 stock aluminum housing/cast iron plate: 8 pounds

SC stock cast iron/cast iron: 12 pounds.



I have had the 8 pounder on my SC (and with its original 2.7 motor) since 1984. No problems with idle.



I run the RSR on my track motors. I think the idle (which I have never worked hard at getting just right) could be made smooth enough for the street. And that's with an RSR lightened flywheel. I have had the RSR PPs re-flame sprayed and machined when the wear surface started showing signs of distress.



I suspect the "power" clutch is the 8 pounder.
