Sheared the head off a bolt off in the clutch basket! 15 quid on fine drill bits later went to Brian s Pope stockport and got new bolt

Just rebuilding clutch and noticed there is play on the basket gear and the basket. Will I have to go to grampian again to have the 6 studs that hold the gear to the basket oversized and the basket drilled?  Got a feeling thats where the bottom end knock was coming from.

Its rivits aint it simon,   some baskets have rubber cush ,  they can be rebuilt, . this slack is usually felt in the clutch lever, [ kinda delay in feel ]

never done a rebuild, but seen a thread on 2stroke forum , [ rd400 basket.]

Yes see that yambits do the basket kits but for RD's. Is there rubbers in a 175 basket? The knock on mine is a metallic clunk.

Well put engine back in the frame finished at 2am this morning in the conservatory. Missus says this is not a garage it is a conservatory. I retorted with her lads box of toys has sat in there 6 yrs! Started it 8 am this morn all good but still the knock on rhs casing not there under acceleration or deceleration. Going to buy a basket off evilbay and take it apart and find bolt kit that fits. Many thanks for all your input!

Clutch basket fitted with new heavy duty EBC plates. Got it from USA but it has holes in it
