[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 11527, member: 109"] [b]It's not over yet...............[/b] Hi Graham, Thanks for that. It's a wonderful club isn't it. Great the way that people come to your aid, Norman Walker is helping me with the design and manufacture of a modification including a thrust bearing to lift the outer primary plate square, one of our local members who is a renkown engineer is going to have a look at it for me next week and all for a problem that I appear to have caused myself, rather embarrasing. I stripped the clutch reluctantly as I had a slipping clutch on a hot engine. I meticulously cleaned it and put it all back together again and that is when the trouble started.......my fault. Thanks for the Dr. Vincent tip - if my local friend combined with the modification that is being re-machined this week are not able to help me then I think I am done, I'm going to fit a modern replacement clutch and so will only then have to decide which one to choose. I'm off to the Manx GP shortly and can't contemplate the clutch playing up on the Island for 10 days. Cheers for now. [/QUOTE]
