[QUOTE="cinquecento, post: 47360, member: 2979"] I think you've got it there Peter B. Looking at your photo and comparing it to mine th change are mine has ATD and drive wheel assembly held together with nut and bolts (?) and an alloy coller/spacer/ring. From your (standard?) set up it should be countersunk rivets and a peened on steel coller, therefore I can only guess mine has been dissassembled for some reson in the past, the steel coller was beyond salvage and replaced with an alloy coller and the rivets with nut/bolt setup. I still dont see what purpose the coller serves but will clean it up and refit with loctite as it seems a good push fit. I don't seew why thermal expansion should be that big a concern. The rivets fitting into a fibre wheel I'm guessing will be alloy, steel obviously would need heating prior to peening over resulting in melted fibre wheel. If the current nut/bolt set up is not causing an issue other than negligable increase in mass and drag maybe I'll leave well alone. Thanks for bouncing ideas around. ps Oops! just noticed my set up also has that whole steel backing plate that the rivets are c/s into missing, deffo' goung to have to look into this further.
