[QUOTE="Jez Nemeth, post: 108054, member: 3871"] That's one is defo on the plan. Miss the roads of NSW, but when the sun shines, Wales has some amazing roads, spaces and places - mostly empty too...bar sheep! Weighed up all advice, really appreciate all the help and information. So bit the bullet. 54 tooth AT10 Clutch Basket fitted with sealed bearing, 30 Tooth front pulley 32mm belt width- Retaining stock 1.8 standard ratio, and with a smaller diameter drive pulley at 3" 6/8 (96mm) than the 106mm I had in mind. New AT10 (Red Gen3) Belts available in every possible length/width, and relatively inexpensive too, they'll be around for years -have no wish to build in obsolescence. I'll fit the pulley before ordering correct belt. Basket is slightly smaller than the standard Norton Commando one, so gearbox won't need to be jammed tightly to the back of the engine casing to clear some of the fixing bolt flanges for fitting the Primary cover, it will just fit better, and should be able to use the range of the tension adjusters fully (1 1/2") Moved the clutch cable boss yesterday accordingly, and alu welded up the hole in the gearbox cover, tap a new hole later after work for the cable adjuster and that should all be good - I'd love a Newbie system...but had complete clutch internals already, so it just made sense to do it this way than buy a whole new system. If all goes pear shape, be the first to be knocking at Bob's door... [/QUOTE]
