C: Clutch Clutch Shoes C7

[Graham Smith]

I have an old pair of clutch shoes that came with my Shadow and have been sitting in a box ever since.

As can be seen, they're pretty worn. Is there anyone in the UK that can re-bush them so I can get the shoes re-lined, or are they beyond it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

What do the circles represent?

To show what a proper circle looks like in comparison to the worn holes that are there!

 

[Bill Thomas]

I think I drilled them out
And fitted camshaft bushes.
Not sure.

I did struggle to find anyone in the UK that was remotely interested in doing mine, having previously used Maughan's and Bob Culver, I was visiting the Godet workshops and spoke to Francois, who took on the job, and posted them back to in a reasonably short time, not that cheap as I remember, but quality costs.

I had a pair that was away worse than that, made a jig from a new shoe, put the worn ones in the jig, bored them out and made press fit alloy bushings, worked just fine afterwards.

Sometimes the plunger housings are worn oval, and even broken away, but they also can be reclaimed, if you have the knowledge and skill, I have neither.

Now if I only lived closer to you and my Uncle Dan!

About 12 hours by plane. Another 4 to 6 hours for airports. Pretty sure Robert would pick you up at YVR in Vanvouver.
