I searched but found no psychedelic clutch disc. I just bought a new disc for my '71 SB, part #311.141.031D. Research says the # is correct. Here are pics.
The disc on the left is the new one and has 4 springs and not 6.
The new disc on the left has a thinner hub than the old one.
The disc is a Sachs and came in a sealed box. I'm not sure what to think, it doesn't look right. |

The disk with the 4 springs is what's been coming in Sachs clutch "kits" for quite a while now. I've heard nothing
to the effect that it's any better or worse than the old style. I can tell you the new style disk will NOT work/fit
with the Sachs 3-arm style clutch pressure plates.
