[QUOTE="Ian Savage, post: 10997, member: 156"] [b]Comet Clutch Centre[/b] Vic Yes it is common, when I ran my Comet hard (as a youth!!) I must have destroyed 3 or 4 centres, I even hand filed slots in the centre and made keys one weekend to keep it going when I couldn’t find a replacement. The centre failed on Ute Augustine’s Comet at the Italian rally last year and Gordon Hart has just had one fail last week. The lock washer is not ideal as you can only attach it to the bit that you’re trying to secure, the centre, and using a high grade locktite gives a problem when you need to remove the nut. I made a clutch locking tool from a couple of old plates so I could really torque up the nut on the shaft with locktite. Ian S [/QUOTE]
