Is this Kevlar or Fiber Tough

Stupid question I know, and I worry far too much. But can someone more knowledgable than I please verify that this is indeed a fiber tough and not kelvar. I'm 99% sure its fiber tough, but I just need someone to quiet that little voice of doubt in my head. Thanks guys, much appreciated.

I can't find the part number for the fiber tough listed, and after reading through a lot of posts on clutches, I noticed a few instances where a fiber tough was ordered but a kevlar shipped.

The part number shows a fiber tough disc, but the disc pictured above looks just like mine. Which is kevlar.

That is a fiber tough setup. The A at the end is for the Aluminum flywheel.

Well I'm intrigued, I've seen a pic of a kevlar before that had a similar look but had the surface all around (not in small segments as in my pics) with a sort of waving inner edge and I've seen a pic of what was supposed to be fiber tough that looked very similar to mine but had eight sections of the "material" where mine is nine. Anyone else care to weigh in?

Not the best pic, but this is the disc I have.



You can see that mine is different from yours in that the material is continuous. There arent individual pucks.

Yes, yours looks like the other pictures of kevlar discs I've seen, and mine looks like one of the fiber tough pics I've seen, but with nine "pucks" versus eight. I trust Excelerate when he says its fiber tough, but other fiber tough discs I've seen look like the one civicdrvr posted.

Yea, the material on yours definitely looks like kevlar, but the PN says fiber tough.
