Woody, thanks for the really informative guide! What size are the original clutch basket nuts? M8x1.25 full hex nuts? If I replaced them with a set of jam/lock nuts, would they be thin enough? M8 nuts are 6.8 mm jam nuts are 4 mm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Those nuts are specials with a reduced OD (smaller than the A/F dimension) on one end to locate inside the spring so if you use some other nuts you will need to machine the recess. I'll measure one up later and post the info up if no-one else does first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hold the nut on a threaded mandrel to machine it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
