If you're going this far, why not make a four arm TRA?
Any chance of posting some photos of the finished product?
Thanks in Advance
I would love to see a few pictures as well. That is my favorite clutch, so although it wasn't in my budget, I may have to become a part of it. How many are being done in the older 583 small taper, or will that be in a second run?

I will post some pics in a few days.
Willing to make as many as needed in each taper.
As for "why not make a 4 arm " ? little more difficult to do, as a new spring cup and governor cup would also be needed. Would be quite a bit more money too.
Getting closer.
Hey.......eye candy is eye candy......not just for Doo junkies Sure would like to hear some feedback once the project is done
As a CAT guy getting rid of my CAT primary to run a TRA, that billet clutch is very impressive. WOW. cant wait to see final results.

what do you think the weight difference will be between this or a cast one. even a forged from skidoo.
Shoud weigh just a little more than the cast and equal or less than the forged.
What is the difference between the 2 3 4 5 and.......I have a 3 with multi angles you got me all confused. lol!
i wonder the same. aren't the face angles different on the tra 2-5's? can you run an 069 triple belt on a tra 2-5?
HAHA! Funny you say that Mr. Bman! My TRA3 Has a multi angle to the sheeves. Must be designed for trail riding only. Maybe for back shifting purposes? All I know is we cut i think .035 into the sheeve to get back the 1 angle i needed. I had a hell of a time trying to tune with the 2 angles in it for drag racing. BTW Im running an RT chassis now! I changed so many belts didnt make difference. cant wait to c what happens altering it! Maybe putting an order in Jamie! lol!

Good explanation of some of the differences in the above link.
My opinion is that multi-angle is not good for drag racing and I happen to prefer the longer straight arms of the TRA 2 and I HATE the tapered governor cup, so decided to build what I wanted.

This one will be 8.450. The one on my sled is 11" O.D., kinda weird when the primary is bigger than the secondary, eh ?
Be using the "mystery machine" to pull stumps, eh?
Wow, what a project. Now I know why this has not been done before.
Still moving forward and moveable halves are done ready for sheaves to be cut. Taking longer than I had thought, but are they NICE. Will be worth the wait.
