I would like to figure out what parts were used to create this slipper unit. It looks like it is using a bigger slipper patch than the original mx-4, maybe double? The cornered patch looks familiar: something contemporary...anyone recognizes this?

it looks like the newer associated spur an slipper pads.

it is an associated spur alright, and slipper pad too.

The explanation just tells how too adjust the slipper while it is not mounted; without damaging the pulley

I found out on another site the slipperdesign is of the mr-4bc option (included with the 2003 SP version I believe). so it takes normal spurs rather than the MX-4 dedicated ones.

Hi Mr. Ed, you are correct - it is the MR4-BC optional slipper unit, allegedly designed by Mick Cragg (Neil's dad) in conjunction with Yokomo Japan. I bought one for my MR4-BCs back in 2004 for about £40 UK pounds, which was quite expensive. It had a habit of coming loose with no warning (usually on the practice lap of your final!) but did protect the rear belt from snapping.
