I don't know if this is of interest but...
Nova engineering sell their own T500 clutch baskets, rivets & damper rubbers.
Regards.

Hi Phil,

Here's a photo of the NOVA billet clutch basket as fitted to one of my race engines. It uses T500 (12 finger) friction plates and a combination of Honda/Suzuki DR350 steel plates. It spins on a needle roller bearing vice the std. bronze bearing. You will need the skills of de-riveting and re-riveting the primary gear.

On the other hand I can't think why you couldn't just fit a 12 finger basket as an alternative if you can't source a 18 finger item.

Cheers Geoff
