I am assembling the clutch on #323 and have read the clutch assembly instructions very carefully and they state -
2) Fit the shoe assembly to the clutch carrier. Do not omit the washers, C6, which lie between the shoes and pivot nuts, C5, on engines prior to 1/853. These nuts must be pulled up very tightly on the bolts, and these are best held by means of a "crow foot" spanner. When tight they must be locked by punching the bolt metal down into the slots in the nut, but before locking check that each shoe is free to rock on its pin. For later units: see (8) under "Dismantling" above.
(Note:- the bolt C4 is of high tensile steel. Ordinary mild steel bolts must not be used, and in any event the heads must not be thicker than 1/8 in. (3.17 mm), otherwise they may foul the wall of the clutch drum.)
I don't have C6 washers for #323 and need to know the dimensions of these C6 washer to assess whether I need them.
Anyone have such information on C6 washers please?
