I thank you gentlemen for the kind words. The Talon baskets are quite a bit beefier than mine. I did my best to shave weight everywhere that I could without allowing any dimensions to fall below my stock baskets measurements.
I found that my stock clutch basket had an overall taper of .060in from bottom to top on the O.D. It measured 5.895in at the bottom, and 5.835in at the top. Since the clutch discs didn't even reach the outer edge of the stock basket, I made mine 5.845in with a straight wall on the O.D.
I did buy two new baskets from Talon ($200ea.), and one extra mounting hardware kit ($20).
I thought I should have "Plan B" ready in case mine fails.
The Talon baskets also have a straight wall on their O.D., and measure at 5.910in(probably why they rub). I'd recommend the Talon clutch baskets to anyone, but you should use longer mounting bolts than what they supply with their kit.
christph: the only special part of the mounting kit is the rivet nuts. They look like they were turned on a lathe, out of hex stock. They're sized for a slip-fit in the factory gear.
