The rebirth of Lazarus
Oddjob:
Bolt in the clutch or in the case?
mickwinf:
Ken it was one of the 4 bolts that go on the springs, so in the clutch centre, wasn't even putting any force on it.
Oddjob:
Anything left sticking out?
I have some of those bolts spare I think, measure one and I'll see if the 550 ones are the same.
mickwinf:
The sheared bolt was easy to sort as the hole it fits in is open both ends so i drilled into it from behind and it wound itself out. I have been fretting about the gearbox it did not seem right to me, so convinced myself to strip it back down. I have acquired a spare gearbox so compared the two and against the manual. it seemed i had one of the thrust washers wrong, not sure how much it would affect things but given me a bit of peace of mind. I also changed a couple of bits as the spares were in better nick. One more question for you Ken, remember the gear with the top hat bush? i am a bit worried if it is in the correct way, is it as per your photo on page 4 of this thread? I am also going to double check the selectors to make sure they are correct. My new rebored barrels and pistons are ready at triggers so slowly but surely it will rise again.
Oddjob:
Yeah top hat goes in on the flange side. Correction, it's the other side that has the rim of the hat so to speak.
