No, sorted, I think. Bryan mentioned it was a gold or silverwing 'absorbsion' apparently, taken from their set ups. I can see it in the parts book but the doubt set in when looking on Youtube amongst other sources, I couldnt see the same steel in any I saw making me wonder if this was another cock up by the PO. Not seen it before, its almost like, as I understand it, a 'clutch cush drive' without the rubber..... type thing. Odd thing. I presume it acts a bit like a dual mass fly wheel on the VW's taking up someof the slack before total engagement? I think thats what I understood from Bryan.
The steels were in a shocking state and were 'steeped' in rustoleum for a coupleof days before going on the brass wire wheel to tart up. Thebits left in the oild were a right manky mess and stained really badly a nasty brown and a couple had to be poked apart from the old friction plates or what was lleft of them.
They came out surprisingly well and none twisted or out of tolerance on the glass with the feelers and verniers. A leg up for once as this has been one hell of an expensive build, nice to have a bit of a break for once :)

Sorry to hijack your thread Roo. One chain guard for Ken and one knackered F2 seat pan for you.
