Stronger Clutch release arms

Do they exist?

I've bent the standard Corrado VR one twice now. Once with a stock clutch and now with a Helix clutch. It's a common problem, especially with uprated clutches. Stronger pressure plate springs + heat + Mild steel = Bendage.

I'm looking into getting a stronger one custom made from stainless, but in the meantime, does anyone know of a company that makes one already? Or if the 02J part from a TDI diesel is stronger?

Also, does anyone know if the PD TDI 130 228mm clutch is stronger than a stock VR6 one?

oooh! ooh! Can I design a new one!

You may then get daves16v off CF to make it

Found one and it doesn't look hard to make.

Take a stock arm and "doube skin" it as it where

Ah yeah, nice bit of reinforcement there

I was about to say, just weld some metal on.... The landrover ones are a similar design, but the pivot pin pushes though the arm when it's worn a little bit...
