    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.

What I found under the clutch cover

So the centre nut wiggled noticeably by hand

Springs in back rattle a bit if I shake the drum but seem to fit fairly snug... How big an issue is this?

Finally the manual talks about indentations on the clutch centre and drum caused by the plates chattering. Not sure if the attached picture is what they mean. These surfaces are noticeably bumpy. Big problem?

Thanks
 
Hi thanks re the ridges... so just file with a metal file? Any tips on the tool?

I'm attaching another pic of the area I think you were referring to. Cleaned it up a bit. I placed the part over the center axle and feel no play at all. Seems snug. So let me know if this is what you mean.

What's your feeling on the springs? How much rattle is too much rattle when I shake the hub? As I say they seem pretty snug in there but really don't know what loose looks like.

Finally I know it's on the site somewhere but if you know what nut I should be ordering that would be great.
 
Good that's a relief. Going to do some filing of the "ridges" next.
 
Just take a smooth file and clean up the basket a bit. Other than that I am not seeing anything alarming. The release bearing as was already stated just flops around like that. If you have an air impact, give the nut a few good blasts and then fold the retainer washer over in TWO spots as a backup lock.
 
You'll need a new clutch hub nut, dress the ridges carefully and you can either shim the back springs (there's a tutorial on that) or get a new backing plate

lots of folks like the nut from APE
 
Thanks for the advice all, it was very helpful. One more thing hopefully sorted. I'll be curious to see how much of the rattling calms down.
