[QUOTE="Hugo Myatt, post: 134332, member: 99"] I had exactly the same problem with the clutch plate when I acquired my Rapide more than 50 years ago. I have every reason to suppose it was an original plate. At the time the only spares available were from Harpers and the quality was not of the best. I doubt that in my then impecunious state I would have been able to afford a Harpers replacement anyway. I had to live with it for some years. It had some intermittent foibles. It would occasionally drag and sometimes it would not re-engage after lifting the clutch. I would have to remove the clutch dome and give it a kick - in neutral of course. I never managed to cure it until I replaced the plate with a concentric one. Hugo [/QUOTE]
