Billet vs. Forged

[sicivicdude]

isn't it possible the rivets had just worked so loose it went boom ????

It is TOTALLY possible that the rivets just worked loose. Especially if the rivets worked loose on one side and threw the assembly "weiner-eyed" and DANGEROUSLY out of balance.

its on ebay idk how to hyperlink its a wiseco forged clutch basket i thnk its forged aluminum with teflon on the fingers. but i was wondering which one would be worth the use. or if its just a waste of extra dough cuz the specs sound good. but seems like most prefer billet clutch baskets

most of us prefer the magnum billet baskets because of the price !
you're not building anything beefier than any of the rest of us have,
the magnum will be just fine, as it is for those of us who run them

billet vs. forged
from reading this, are there really "forged baskets" ???.............

Billet versus Forged

They are probably forged billet baskets actually..... I:I From the look of the machine marks on my "magnum" clutch basket, it looks like the assembly is turned out of a large block of aluminum. If that block of aluminum was forged into shaped before they began machining, we get the best of both worlds.... high strength (strain and stresses included) and very close tolerance CNC machined.

i see, that article made me think the actual part got hammered into a rough shape, then cnc finished
