L&T clutches

[flapjack]

I remember back in the day that there were two major lock-up clutch manufacturers: L&T and AFT. I know AFT is still around, but whatever happened to L&T? I want to say that the L (Lanny) of L&T is still around and is working for JFR. Is this true? Or is it Tony? I can't remember which.

Lanny stayed in drag racing. a while ago, mid 90's the old man went into making go cart clutches if I remember right.

The "L" was Lanny who is now working for JFR, the "T" was his dad Tony. Unfortunately, Tony passed away years ago from a heart attack. Both quality people.

Didn't Bob Devour buy the company.

 

[You!]

I think it was John Medlen that bought it Randy.

Medlen then sold it to DeVour, then..................

East-West Bob did the machining and manufacturing for L&T and still makes clutches today under his own name.
