Is this going to be a problem? (Pics)

[Supramatt90]

I just got a spec stage 2 clutch about a week ago and noticed this scratch(if you can call it that) in one of the rivets in the pressure plate. It is a pretty deep cut into it. I am just wondering if this is going to cause me problems? Should I contact Spec about this and have them give me a new one?

If it were me, I would. Why pay top dollar to get something that you'll always worry about.

i would to, i've seen some 4cyl turbo cars snap that piece after 2 hard runs. ~propperly broken in first~

That isn't going to last long... there's no pressure on it right now but there will be once it's mounted and used... then it'll most likely break.

I thought about about balancing first too.... but why there... that's just plain stupid.

Someone had it cocked and hit the pedal on the Press too soon!

Shouldn't have any effect as it's not the loaded part of the Rivet but I'm with the guys on this why pay top dollar and get flawed parts!

Well I contacted horsepowerfreaks, and sent that picture. They told me it wasn't going to be an issue and that it was just a stamp from the press. So we will see how it goes but I do feel a little better about using it now.

Well, at least they are aware of it Matt. Now if anything happens, you have this thread, the email, and the picture to back yourself up. I'd consider yourself covered.
