Clutch compression ring - home made

[Micha]

I found that my ring plate was twisted and had a lot of wear, so decied to fabricate one.
Publishing it here so others can get an idea in the future if they will face such a broblem.
The generous organ donor was a Renault Master van.
A lot of steel was removed, and btw the Israeli made cutting tool by Iscar are mostly recommended...

Good innovation. I look forward to seeing how it all fits up.

Thanks Mal.
it came out quite well.
Clutch is now sandvished and all seems to be ok, except that I managed to ruin the 8x1.25 thread of the lower RH tranny part that takes a bolt, not those studs.
I'm now after an heli-coil solution.
Hopefully I will find one, don't want to tap that to 10x1 oversize.

Always another turn in the road, another challenge to over-come. I am sure you will find a solution. There are other options than helicoil - look around, no need to rush.

So true!

Micha and Mal - I truly admire your skills at fabricating things. But have to ask - do you ever actually plan to finish your bikes? I'm beginning to think that you feel you're having more fun fiddling around making things than actually completing the bikes. The older I get, the more I don't like projects that go on forever. If I drop over, someone else just has to pick up the pieces. Sorry, just had to get that out - carry on!!
