No, it is Dave's brand when he is writing email messages at 12:30AM.
I did mean Borg & Beck but my fingers thought otherwise. Anyways,
I've gathered all the bits and pieces today and will be putting the
new clutch in tonight. Changes I'm making are replacing all 6 bolts
holding the pressure plate onto the fly wheel with ones that have
allen key head instead of hex head. The old bolts needed an 11mm socket
and there is not enought space on the new pressure plate to fit a
socket to tighten the bolts.
I'm also replacing the pin on the release fork with a longer one that
I have drilled holes at each end for cotter pins. When I removed the
clutch that pin was half way out of its hole. All the bolts on the
gear box was tighten, I hope this will stop or slow the oil leak. Also
8 new bolts and nuts for each end of the drive shaft. Hope things will
go smoothly tonight with no surprises.
