Been a while since I have been on CT site. Now we just need to get people to use it again😁

good idea 😄

Probably because I have been given a meter 😄 I'll leave it alone .

Engine runs well, set up as per original factory manual, points set to 15 thou. any idea what the dwell angle my be or should I just stick to a feeler gauge ? Thanks.

Hiya  I removed mine and I used a standard 6 sided socket out of my set. Leave the nut on a couple of threads as you tap the wheel off the shaft or you may end up wearing the steering wheel as it beaks free when you tap it. 1 1/16 " from memory so probably used my 27mm socket as I can't remember digging out my large imperial set.

But it is nowhere near as loud as the stupid Harley in the street

The 3 rivet {which are actually stop pins} are present on both clutches. The 16 rivets hold the individual 8 segments to the adapter plate, the clutch on the left is a monodisc driven plate with all 8 cushion ramps made out of one piece and is more expensive in tooling but quicker make especially assemble. They still have the same facing rivets that hold the facing to the segments or mono disc and they still have the same 3 stop pins holding the disc adapter and retaining plate together Most of our monodisc tooling is now in the bin as production runs are too short. Most driven plates that were OE by ourselves are either made in Italy or India depending on the part number. Ps the stop pins have 2 roles, one ,to hold the whole assembly together and two, to stop the rotation once the springs reach their design load. I made a couple of plates for my Herald myself before the tooling was shipped out.  

Probably very unfair. But not sure Halfords would be my first choice  for an MOT!  

Not too sure what the cam mech is . I have many door lock parts so I may have one.    PS i'm in Warwickshire  Dave
