Clutch Friction Plates

Post by bweed2112 » Sun Apr 09, 2017 7:46 pm

Recently went through and cleaned up the clutch plates and basket, and bought what i think are the proper friction plates. After putting them the plates in the basket and tightening down the cover, it appears the plates have a bit too much "play"
This lead me to place one of the old friction plates up to the new ones and the new ones seem to be just a smidge smaller than the old ones.
Also i noticed the friction pads are different between the two, which i assume won't matter but have attached a picture anyway.
My main concern is the difference in width of the plates.
Any insight is appreciated

Looking at the side pic I'd say you may not have put the thickest steel plate on the center hub first.
Followed by friction/steel.
The pic of the first friction disc is corrrect for this clutch.
If you need that old friction disc you don't have this clutch assembled correctly. ......................lm

I will double check, but i'm 90% sure the thickest steel plate was put on first.

By first friction disc do you mean the one on top of the second picture?

I don't need the old friction disc there, its just there for comparison. I used the parts catalog to know what order to put things back together.

Any idea of where i can find the proper friction discs for this clutch?

Yes. By first friction disc do you mean the one on top of the second picture?
I have all the clutch parts you will need. ............lm

LM, here are the pictures you requested. I believe the only part that i forgot to take a picture of was the set-ring.
Let me know if there are any other parts that you think i should replace.
