[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 19661, member: 99"] Hi Kevin, I am no engineer but just have 40 years experience with Comets. I am sure there are much more knowledgeable folks on the forum who will help you. I am away from home for the weekend so cannot measure the clearance between brake nut and clutch cover but I will check it on Monday but it must be 1/2" at least. You could turn down a twin left hand distance piece to your specific measurement although I believe machining tapers takes some skill. Unfortunately the twin left hand distance piece has a flat machined on the side of the inboard face. It would be hardly noticeable or you could drill another blind hole for the peg and position the flat out of sight at the bottom. Ref. your spare gearbox, you do not say how it differs. I am probably going to be shot down in flames again but I thought that all Burman BAP type gearboxes had more or less the same internals. It is the inner large casting that is specific to the Comet in that it pivots from the top for primary chain adjustment. Hugo [/QUOTE]
