I'm not a fan of these after using a few of them.  Hard to change gear at high rpm. Lobas customer support is dire.

Single mass stuff would be the full Helix kit at around £900, or I can do forum deals on the DMF with Helix drive and cover still.

Helix are finally making my twin plate kit  :happy2:

I have 3 cars, all with the same shifting issue.  Two cars are however fine.  Just cant risk fitting them anymore.

Loba = Sachs with a sticker!

Main issue I have had with Helix has been supply.  I sell more than they can make.

Now I have found the best master cylinder solution, that issue is a thing of the past.

I had a call from Helix on Friday.  They are hopefully making my 228mm organic twin plate over the next week or so.  You want me to order a second one for you?  :happy2:
