You might remember that I proudly said that I think I found the reason why the clutch was slipping intermittantly - pushrod with a groove in it, 2 different types of springs in the pressure plate.

Well that might be part of the reason.

I was putting it back together with the new springs, and just thought I would double check with the manual to make sure I was doing it right.

So there I was fitting the plates only to find I was one short, yet the clutch basket was full.

On further investigation........some idiot in the past has fitted a 250 clutch which has 1 less pressure plate.

Yet again the KH gives me another gift.

The problem is where am I going to get a 400 clutch basket from - they seem to be super rare.

With the 400 springs fitted it seems to disengage OK but you need a vice like grip to pull the lever.

Just have to hope a 400 basket comes up someplace, or it might even work with the 400 springs.

No turning back as I have sunk too much time, effort and money into it - I am also in the process of making some decent end cans for the expansion chambers - I started that a while ago.

At least it keeps me out of harm........
