what material is it?

rule of thumb is drive it in stop and go (through town) and load it up a little for about 500 miles. don’t beat on it.

on my most recent clutch, i was easy on it for about 250miles. i boosted the car with about 300miles on the clutch, but was still easy on the clutch.

my iron disc didn’t require any break-in 🙂
