Two side.....
Note that this was after about 15k miles if memory serves me correctly, on the synthetic disc I first installed with the Boss engine.
Sadly, the guy that was building these beautiful clutch discs, passed away far too soon. I've found no one here locally doing the same sort of work...or even close....! No more custom discs for now!
BEST WAY--
have your original clutch disc refaced by a competent specialis.

Dear All,
i'm on the way to resolve the clutch on my Mangusta, I've ordered a new kit and I'm now adapting it!... Hopefully will work, I'll keep you posted.
Another question... I need to replace the rear suspension, I did buy new ones few years ago fron the Mangusta International website (now that is gone)the suspension were very low so I added a one inch alloy rise ring which worked fine (till recently!)now one of the suspension broke and I need a replacement...
Any advice where to get a modern good pair of them with the regulation at the end?..
Thanks a lot again,
all the best,
Paolo Italy

Your suspension fix may vary depending on the use case of the vehicle. For example, if you don't intend to drive much and originality is an desire then you could reach out to Springbok in Germany for original equipment.
Otherwise, perhaps find a local suspension/alignment guy and have them make repairs to the existing stuff.
Both of my rear 'A arms' cracked one resulted in catastrophic failure. Luckily the car was only being pushed across the driveway at the time. They were welded over with some larger diameter tubing as a fix.
Here a picture of the broken suspension, I added an alloy 1" thickness at the spring to raise the car a bit more and have more clearance. They are a pair of QA1.

Paolo, I am far from being an expert on this...but if the adjustment was this high on the threads and you were also using a 1" spacer, if you want to keep the same ride height I suggest getting a longer QA1 shock and spring...I am guessing the shock was operated beyond its designed ride height. Going to a longer spring and shock may be the solution for you.. https://www.jegs.com/p/QA1/QA1...ocks/743895/10002/-1

Hi Lee,
thanks a lot, I ordered a pair of QA1 shocks and also the spring from Jegs in a longer version, hope it will be right!
Thanks a million, I'll keep you posted about the development...Best, Paolo

Paolo, good luck. The advice I received as 10" springs with a 1" spacer (thanks then to Steve)--Lee
