Thanks guys , it is a 6 lever clutch , it had only had the nut/bolt on the levers, this weighed 16+ grams, I have bought an assortment of longer nuts bolts , varying thickness washers etc, will weigh them all so I can make subtle changes.
The car has been set really really soft, only 28 degrees timing, still rich,
Will try adding 2 grams on each lever and go from there

Thanks very much for the responses, I am new to these so may seem pretty ignorant, by counter weight are we meaning on the arms ??,  at this time they only have the small not bolt, I am not sure of the weight - I will check tonight and respond
I will check for slot in floaters as well

Hoping I can get a bit of assistance here-
I have a FED running a blown Injected 540bbc with 2 speed lenco
I have a Crowerglide clutch that seems to be wearing a lot more than I would expect, ie 15thou after two passes
I set it up with an airgap of 35thou and wound the nuts (holding the springs in ) one and a half turns.

Keen to get a better idea of what other guys are finding works for them

Thanks in advance
