[QUOTE="craig, post: 103506, member: 1959"] I have now in hand what appears to be the correct parts to convert my C20, C3, G3 early configuration to C20/1, C3/2, G3/1 allowing the use of a simple o-ring to provide the seal at the clutch nut. I made up a simple drawing to illustrate this change..............and now I have some questions about this "late model" up grade. The dark green [B]G3mod[/B] threads on to a G3 to convert to G3/1. [ATTACH=full]25576[/ATTACH] 1) This new configuration calls for a shortened C20/1 nut that [U]gives up the indexing feature [/U]of the old style C20 and simply tightens up against a new C3/2 that provides just a flat surface. C3/2 does not fit tight on the shaft, neither did the C3.....isn't this indexing early feature a better mechanical design? 2) Physically, upon assembling the pieces, there appears to be enough room at the C18/2 o-ring slot to allow 2 o-rings stacked in the slot . Is this the case with other installations? 3) Is this drawing accurately depicting the configuration? I know the drawing is not to scale. Thanks for any help on this. Cheers Craig [/QUOTE]
