Ken's (oddjob) 500/4 resto??? Where are you with it?
Johnny4428:
Definitely too good to be fitted under a standard clutch cover! It’s not one bit OTT!😂😂

Basket. You can see the rivet holes have been tapped to 6mm.

So this bolts back up and not riveted Ken? Never really read about details of rubber replacement on these clutches.

Max a former member has made a few batches of the rubbers for a couple of different models, I think he will also thread your old basket if needed.
Oddjob:
Yeah, it’s the same way the 400 clutch basket rubbers are done. You drill out the rivets, tap the holes, they are the right size for tapping already, dismantle the basket and replace the rubbers, reassemble using locktite on the new bolts. The hard part is finding the new rubbers and finding the right sized bolts, the heads must be no bigger than 3mm in height or they’ll hit the mechanism behind the clutch.
Grommitdog sourced the bolts, I imported the rubbers. The seller refuses to post outside Europe so I asked someone in Europe to buy me 6 sets, wasn’t cheap. Each set is around £55-60.
Max btw doesn’t do the 500/550 clutches, only the 400

I've just looked at Max's ebay shop, he does quite a bit of bike stuff now.
