Was going to hoof it to the PO today, but when I looked next it was home time............ Tomorrow got to go get some clutch plates made very quickly, as the old ones I looked at in the industrial gearbox are looking very sick currently, they are busy falling apart, but as they are in a cage they still work, but still need new ones before the remains fall out. Clutch and Brake place will make as per sample....... Still got one left as sample. Then need to get out the 65AF socket and breaker bar to undo the nut.
Practised my Recoiling skills again, go to undo one bolt and it just came out complete with corroded thread. went and got the kit and the hand tap, and then recut the whole hole through the alloy base and installed the extra length M6 insert and put the bolt in again. Need to order a few more inserts now, M6, M5, M4, M3 are all low, but on the plus side still have plenty of M16 and M12 inserts around.
