C: Clutch Clutch Slip

[Freebird]

Ah, O

The tensoners do groove until the rollers can touch the surface. Check whether you need a tensioner or not.

Ah, OK. I won’t then, I don’t want to introduce unnecessary wear residue from the new one.

I think Marcus has led you up the garden path.

My notebook says, the large clutch seal should be 2.75" x 3.5" x 0.375". The type with a rubber covered outer diameter. Get a double lip version if you can.
regards,
delboy.

I think you are probably right, annoying as I would have had it all back together today.

I do apologise my handsome, I copied a modification that Michelle Balester did in Bordeaux and fitted a sealed bearing where the seal was so the chain was more solid and didn't bend the shaft I just remembered I had to machine the outer chain case and remembered the measurement, I will certainly pay for the seal as I have no spare and that mod was done thirty plus years ago Please PM me and I will send address money and postage to you.Thaks for the correction.

A quick update chaps.

I bought a 70 x 90 x10mm seal as suggested above, but it feels too big to fit the recess. I think the OD should be 3 1/2” which is 1.1mm smaller. I will order one from the VoC spares company along with a new primary chain tensioner as mine is quite heavily grooved.

Get one of the Videan tensioner blades if possible. Worth the $£€.
