[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 102814, member: 302"] I don't think that you are correct Gregg, if you are using the standard parts for the B+C clutches, and you do as you suggest you will lock the clutch centre up solid, the only thing that governs the desired operational length of the C20 nut is the metal outer ring of the Dowty seal C18/1, if that seal, or a derivative of that seal, such as Maughan and Sons supply is not used then the C20 nut will tighten onto the C17 bush fitted to the clutch shoe carrier C13 before it bottoms out into the C18/1 seal recess in the C3 clutch shoe carrier , and you will not get anyway near the 10 thou end float that is desirable, perhaps this method works just fine on the later D type set up, but I would not want to comment on that as I have no experience with the D s.
