Cb400f Clutch basket rubber cush drive

<< < (3/9) > >>

Oddjob:
Wouldn't that distort the central cut though Max?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Seems weird that no one seems to be making a pattern copy part for the likes of DS.

Oddjob:
They won't make the rubbers Ted as the clutch basket was never meant to be taken apart, it's a reasonably easy job to do TBH but it's beyond 70% of riders IMO. Plus the vast majority of riders wouldn't even spot the gear moving on the basket, it's one of those things you need to be looking for as a potential problem. A decent rider will feel the basket moving but most would assume it's the primary chain.

I had to compensate that as well so that when it squashed the central cut was the exact shape of the part on the basket

I think if someone was waterjet cutting them or had a tool to stamp them out, I'm sure you could get the price down to about £10 per set in material, problem is you would need to make a lot of them, and small amounts of viton is pretty expensive, and not easy to get hold of

Laverda Dave:
Max, what size of Vinton sheet would you need to make a few sets of these? I am asking because my brother in law owns a rubber company and he uses viton.
Cheers
Dave
