Is the gasket for the brake/clutch side plate one solid gasket or is it cut out in the center?

I could not find it on any of the supplier catalogs.

Sounds like a torque setting issue to me--
Let me tell you about wheel braces--
My best mate years ago was spinning some truck wheel nuts off with a wheel brace and when one of the nuts came off the wheel brace hit him on the side of his knee--ouch
He died in his sleep that night from a blood clot----------impact driver for me

Be carefull--Safety first

Something to look for if going full face is the sideways view available Best I could find was an AGV motorcycle helmet; still has all the correct compliance nos but a nice wide window
My son swears by Bell and won't wear anything else, but I find the side vision a little compromised compared to my AGV helmet

Sorry it's sealed in plastic but I don't want to open it--we have a small rust problem here as you might have picked up on
The flywheel and ringgear are all machined out of one piece--this is the pedastol type

Pic of the rear of the flywheel,
Centre hole(bearing) = 35mm
Crankshaft locating step=83mm
Bolt pattern=6X12mm x 65mm pcd--evenly spaced with no dowels, they use the bolts as dowels
Mounting centre section of f/wheel is 9.5mm thick and the bearing is 10mm wide
Distance from the end flat mounting face of the crank to the clutch friction surface=23.5mm
Spigot bearing is 35od...

Mark-
Best way to choose is-
Sit the ring on the taper of the gear, and acurately measure the gap between the back of the ring and the synchro teeth on the gear--then try your other ring and remeasure
The synchro measuring the widest gap is the best one to use-----

I grew up in southern California, in the foot hills around the Mojave Desert and their fires - absolutely devastating! My wife and I high tailed up to Western Washington State and never looked back.

I do feel sorry for the people down there, including my wife's cousin and her husband - they lost their home Ventura about 2 years ago and are still trying to jump through all the hoops tryin...

Tough luck, Bill. Cars seem so insignificant when human life is threatened.

Lets all hope for happy ending.

You must have had it set on drill mode that locks up the clutch

I know of a TC and TD lost in the Redding area fire earlier this summer. An XK 120 and a TD in the Santa Rosa Fire.

I have family members who live in Paradise which was leveled in the early hours of the Camp Fire now burning in Northern Ca. All whom are among the 900 souls still missing
