[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 52812, member: 2433"] Went to start the rebuild/refit the Burman clutch today - the one that I thought had been finally returned from loan - but no. What was returned was something else - a rough and incomplete collection of bits n pieces that do not even match each other. The retaining bolts in the clutch drum are broken away from the drum, both the bearing retaining plates (X36) are missing, the friction plates are a mis-matched jumble and the main clutch nut has been well worked over, butchered, with a cold chisel and hammer - but the most glaring issue found today is a great big hole in the centre of the pressure plate where the clutch pushrod should have a pad to push against. Do not know where this motley collection of bits is from, but it certainly is NOT the pristine clutch I had lent from my Vincent Comet! So my search is back on for a complete ORIGINAL Burman clutch for my 51 Comet. Just shows how trust is so often misplaced. Leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Seems the person I had originally lent my complete and pristine Burman clutch to my be suffering from filching as well as Alzheimer's. [/QUOTE]
