Factory Pro clutch mod

Post by Stig »

Had a spare basket so set up the mill with a ball nose cutter and took out the reliefs on the curve at the rear of the inner basket.
Dont think it turned out too bad for a first attempt. i've just got to sort the additional holes thro' the sides now

You are just showing off the fancy electrical machinery.
That job can be achieved with nothing more involved than a # 4 thrunging broach and an 2hz flogging peen driven by a half brick bludgeon :)
I do not exaggerate when I state that I have done this millions of times ! :nod:

it allows oil to circulated further along the clutch plates at the rear of the basket...speads it about more
gives a smoother lever and better lubrication to the plates
