When I first saw Bud Warren's centrifugal clutch something  in
the back of mind was trying to tell me he did not build it.
The parts looked too slick and too finished to be custom made.

I think I figured it out. They are stock parts out of Center Force
clutches. Of course Bud never talked about that.

Ironically I have one in my my RX8. I love it. It works great.

This will solve the gear box chatter problem if set up properly.

The question is how thick must be the flywheel? That will
affect the over all weight.

BTW I don't think it was the cause of Bud's fatal crash.

Confusing pics though....  it seems you've got a few pics of subaru/eggenstein's --  did they use bud's drives?

Yes. He sold several.
