Pulling them in with a plain nut and washer will seat them, then final tightening with the correct nut. Remember to put the key-way in the outer end in a convenient position.

Appreciate dealing with you Bill and the help you have given me over the years. Hope this year gives you all you desire. Mal.

I was considering the labeling rather than the longevity Marcus so was thinking of the resistance to thinning due to temperature when new. Just felt the claims may be referring to this rather than actually thickening when hot. I don't have a clue as to how this may be achieved but just interested in claims that manufacturers make. Hope this year goes well for you and keep up the postings, Mal.

"it was like thin Pish when hot. the oil had reverted back to its OE 20 grade rating, and NOT thick,n up to a 50 " It would be interesting to check the viscosities of the multigrade and the 50, each at the same temperature, through the expected range of temperatures the oils would be running at Marcus. I had the impression that the multigrades were labeled to infer that they were similar to the thin end of the range when cold but did not thin to the extent that standard oils did when hot, so the thick end of the claimed range should have a similar viscosity to to a straight oil of that viscosity at the working temperature. I don't think I could have made that explanation more complicated!

Ah Bill, you have now put me in rather a quandary. Should I or should I not mention that that D section bar, on rotation, also restricts the amount of air that can pass through the throat. Maybe I won't mention it.

You may find spacing out the cover much less than first thought will suffice due to the length of the fingers in relation to the point at which the pivoting action occurs Nick. Triumph plate, from above post, 6-7 mm Your plate about 10mm So 4mm times the inverse of lever ratio would give you a guide to spacing required. Possibly not all would agree with using spacers as an actual solution but if they were of the same shape as the contact surfaces it may well be the answer. Have a look around and see if this could cause any clearance problems though. ("Spaced out" may be a poor choice of words at this time of the year.)

"I am just reversing the whole process" Yes, that's the problem.

"CD - ............................... choke via moving whole jet shebangs up & down. " Is this what you meant to type Bill? Mal.

"if the bellhousing is a few mm too thick it would produce this problem." Its the angle of the fingers when clutch assembled on flywheel that steers me to driven plate thickness Nick, but I could be misinterpreting what I think I am seeing. i.e. problem appears to be well before bell housing considerations. Would not take much variation to plate thickness to make a considerable change to finger position. You could slip some thin washers under pressure plate mounting surfaces just to see how things change.
-
Does the driven plate seem thicker than usual plates Nick?
-
"Cds150 adjust from above via the dashpot. And have a plastic bit down the side" I think you may have meant to type cdse Colin. Surprising how not striking a key with sufficient force can change the intent of a message so much in some cases. cds adjusted in same way as cd but has the "enrichment device" on the side of the body instead of the rotating barrier through the throat.

Good to hear things are now working out well Nick. Enjoy today. Like the idea of a contemplation chair in the workshop.

May be the camouflage on army vehicles works too well.

Great news Nick. Christmas will be happier now. Looking forward to further progress reports. Mal.

Was wondering about handling charges Wim. At least it was the same seller.

Actually the price was in US Dollars but the supplier was in Germany for that particular set of lamps, so relatively close to Wim. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hella-FF-50-spotlight-set-driving-lights-incl-mounting-brackets-and-H7-bulbs-/360762076737

Surprising range of prices on Ebay. $75 US seems the cheapest.

Found this site when looking for listings of ring sizes via a Ducati forum Nick. Nothing there coincides with what you want exactly but further searching for motor bike ring sizes may get a result. Hopefully this site does not cover all bikes. http://www.jeproseal.com/

Seems a pity if these pistons have been made for ring sizes that are not readily available. Looking for ring sizes via Google seems fruitless, came up with "O" rings and other odd stuff. Maybe an engine re-conditioner would know or know where to look for ring specs. Parts these days are listed by make and model or part number only. Years back you could go to Repco and tell the bloke behind the counter the dimensions of a ring you wanted and he could tell you what engines used the size, usually off the top of his head. I feel that the piston manufacturer should either tell you which rings these pistons were made for or, if groove size was a mistake, re-machine them or replace. Sorry you are copping these problems Nick. Would be interesting to know how this happened.
