    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My outer clutch basket

OK guys the sum total of the whole schmear is that i should have done a billet basket to start with. I didnt know enough at the time to buy a used one so i had a standard basked beefed up. Dave had already said he went through the basket gruve thing and now with all the other information I see it is the only way to go.. Thanks all again. :D
 
I dont' have a photo but I'll explain it.

One set of discs (metal or fibres) have splines on the centre of them and the other set has splines on the outside of them. The outside splines meet up with the clutch basket in the channels than run down the inside of the basket. These channels will get grooves in them from the splines of the discs pounding back and fourth.

Be careful with the file. If you take exactly .010 off 1 rail, you should take exactly .010 off all of them. If all the rails aren't spaced exactly the same, all the tabs won't be touching a rail. If you take .005 off a rail, and .010 off another rail, and don't take anything off the others. The tab for the first rail will miss makeing contact with that rail by .005. The tab for the rail that was filed .010 will miss makeing contact with that rail by .010. I have trouble explaining things. I understand exactly what I'm saying, hope I got my point across.

The obvious is always something that i dont think of--Thanks--I will not attempt to salvage the basket. I will run it like it is for a short while while i hunt a bilett basket--
Do the gears on the outer basket press off and on if i find one with straight cut teeth and want to replace it with my beveled teeth

I just realized that the gear was part of the backing plate. Sorry

Thanks for info srivett. The grooves in mine are small.You can feel small bumps, but they look to be 1/64'',if that much.So I think it's 'ok'. Thanks again. KK.
