Does anyone have a dead clutch that they'd sell/trade me? I am planning on taking the outer casing off, drilling some holes, and making it into a band brake. Obviously it doesn't matter what the output hole size is, or what condition it is in, except the outer "shell" needs to be whole.

why dont you just have the band brake on your drive clutch, when you hit the brakes it will slow down the clutch, which is connect to the chain, which is connected to the wheel(s) .. ?

I've taken that into consideration; The reason I'll most likely not do it is because clutches tend to break down when they are heated up to much. That's why it's better for the clutch to be driven with the pedal all the way down, rather then putting aroung at 5-10 mph. In a pinch I'd do it, or if I knew it wouldn't hurt the clutch, I'd do it, but as of now probably not. Thanks though. :)
Edit:
Is that your bike in the pic? If it is, does the brake work good? What I can see of that bike looks cool.
