[QUOTE="A Nut, post: 155478, member: 2005"] Hi again, I have just looked up the parts on the spares website. The pictures show a clutch basket and friction plates like your present ones but the Spares Company only keep the later type of basket/sprocket I described. AJS/Matchless used the type as supplied now by the Spares company on the larger capacity bikes both singles and twins. I have bikes fitted with both the Burman clutch and Honda clutch and find the Burman clutch lighter in operation. If all the other parts are still serviceable you could remove the rivets, repair the drum by welding, fabricate a band of some sort and braze in position then rivet the drum onto the sprocket. I have been playing around with the clutch on a 1959Ttriumph Thunderbird this afternoon and Triumph had the sense to incorporate a band (a fairly substantial one) around the outside of the drum. If you ring me on Friday morning we can discuss how to proceed. 01453 842707. Brian. [/QUOTE]
