Well, I started tonight off by doing to the clutch parts what I’ve done to the gearbox parts – identify, label and bag everything against the parts catalog.  This starts off a little tough, but then ends with great success a couple hours later when I understand what’s there, what’s missing and what needs replacing.  This didn’t go so well with the clutch

I look at the clutch parts list and start going through the various parts laid on on my bench.  Pressure plate – check.  spring cups and springs – check.  Driving plate…. um, I have 2 plain ones and one bonded.  How many do I need?  Oh, 6 of each.  Brilliant.  Then I look on the parts diagram and notice all these other parts that are nowhere to be found.  So basically, when I got my bike back from Adrian, he must have forgot to give me a box of parts.  A large box of parts.  I basically need 75% of the clutch assembly.  *sigh*

I just placed an order at British Only for the parts listed over to the left.  These are the gearbox gears and shafts and such.  A few of those parts listed there were acutally broken.  Most were missing.  And a couple were just rusted shut and I can’t remove them.  Mainly the mainshaft, the bearings and the nut are all fused together and rusted.  That alone is costing about $250 to replace.

Feeling a little frustrated tonight, but I think it’s mostly because I’m not making any progress.  So I’m biting the bullet and ordering the parts and we’ll go from there.  I’ll keep checking ebay for some other parts.  We’ll see if something good pops up.  I haven’t ordered from British Only before, so I don’t know if they will get that whole list of parts over there or not.
