[QUOTE="CoreyL, post: 141344, member: 3835"] I just bought a Honda clutch conversion kit from Conways for my post-war single. The plain steel and friction plates are all flat but the friction plates do not appear to be new in that they are not dry but have been oiled. Not sure if that's something that Conways does or if the plates were like that when Conways got the clutch and modified it for use in the Vincent. So, my question is: should I degrease and re-oil the plates or use them as received? My inclination is to clean and re-oil them since I don't know what's on them now or how long it's been there. Can the plates be effectively degreased by spraying with carb/brake cleaner? Also, the plain steel plates are stamped out of sheet and, like snap rings, have a sharp edge and a rounder edge. I assume it doesn't matter which side faces which way. Finally, the plain steels plates, in addition to having squared notches in their center, have little semi-circular notches. Are those notches functional (do they assist oil drainage from the basket?) and do I need to pay attention to their orientation when I place the plates in the basket (line them up/don't line them up?). Thoughts? Opinions? [/QUOTE]
