Hi All, me again and another problem! Every day's a school day and thanks for all your help!
We just fitted the clutch together with some home-made locking washers (no thread-lock around at the time). Upon offering up the gearbox and trying to actuate the clutch properly by the thrust bearing, the levers are almost impossible to push. When reading the official guidebook, it says that the levers should be ~3/8ths from the edge of the casing, but ours are more like 7/8ths away. If you put a LOT of force on the arms, you can *just* see them move, but it isn't right at all!
When bolting the clutch down, the levers draw into a position where they meet the thrust bearing, but they seem to have gone too far. I've seen threads where people needed to add a spacer between the clutch and flywheel, but am unsure if this would 'fix' it?
