As available on www.topoptions.com in the Options section.  I have a Protech
Phaser 4 RS with Protech SX-21 .21 engine.

Whats the advantages, disadvantages etc with a vented clutch bell?  Worth
it?  They're cheaper than standard ones anyway, so i'll probly get one, just
wondered if there was a better reason i could use to my mates ;) ?

Well one good reason is, if it's vented it means it will allow the clutch
better cooling and lessen burn out of the same
That sounds a good a reason as any to me as your clutch will work better &
last longer.

Just wasn't sure if clutch actually required any cooling :)  Its a few quid
cheaper than a standard one, so i reckon i may as well :)

No probs Dan....When u think of it, Clutches are friction devices so
generate heat, I have seen many cars on the way up to my local ski slope
getting stuck on the steep hill and smoke pouring out of the clutch coz the
hill was too steep and too many people in the car. The car only moved when
they got out to get over the steep bit lol...!!!! (and that is a tarmac road
too....!!!)

You ain't seen the last part of the Hill before it levels out, and there is
a cattle grid and a nasty bump in the road good for ripping your exhaust
off, as if burning your clutch out wasn't enough...!!! Whoever designed that
road wants shooting..!!
