So, I plan on finally getting a bunch of work done on my SHO.
One item is the clutch.
I last went Vaelo, new, as the motor is stock, but it is slipping sooner than expected since I tow with the car.
So...
I have a SHOShop High Revs Jr with the fingers cut off (I really wish I had known about the Telflon shaft bushings!) with maybe a couple thousand miles on it.
It is basically a stock clutch with triple springs on the cover and better material on the disk.
I could take my clutch out, check the surface for any problems, and if none swap the springs over.
Then use the friction disk and I'd be in business for really cheap.

Any thoughts on this?

I don't think that will help, even if it is possible to transfer the springs. You would still be left with a worn friction disk that has got thin enough for the clutch to slip.

I recommend getting one of these. Clutchmasters Stage 2.5:
They also have a Stage 1 and Stage 3.5.

I was going to sand the Hi-Revs clutch cover - it looks thicker than the other used one I have which had significant mileage when I removed it. Same with the friction disk - it looks new, other than some surface rust on the springs. The other one is worn down, to the point the dust groves are almost gone.
I have been looking at the Clutchmasters kits as well.
If, when I pull my unit, I see the clutch fingers have significant wear (0.3mm is too much) I will replace it
