Brian, I have now used both the Tilton and Quartermaster brands. I do not see any significant advantage to either. If you want to save some $$, as mentioned in a previous post, I have now purchased a number of tripple plates (used and new) via E Bay and normally only paid around $120 - 200 for these.

I have no concerns using a used clutch as due to smaller dia and low mass, stress on these is mostly related to wear caused by excessive slippage. As long as the clutch plates and floaters measure up OK and do not have excessive heat stress cracks then they will be OK.

The current Quartermaster that I have was purchased as a new excess to requirements unit off a NASCAR team and as I recall cost $220.

Just bear in mind that if you do purchase via likes of E Bay, unless you are lucky, clutch plate spline mismatch may mean you need to purchase a new set of plates (most NASCAR units are 29 spline).

Kel.
