Got me some bling

[sharky]

Well sort of...this actually serves a purpose :D. It replaces the weak diaphram clutch with a proper 6 bolt/spring job.

Now I just need a clutch window.....

[Blackkat]

whats it going on?

[fimpBIKES]

i think it goes on the clutch

[BANDITROD]

it is a clutch :Dwhat does it suit sharky[?]

[sharky]

Its for my XJR.

[Jockney Rebel]

nice bit of blue russ

[zx12argh]

pretty - shame you wont be able to see it what with it being in the clutch housing and all

[sharky]

Thats why I'll be chasing Deano...

[zx12argh]

oooohh clear spinie internals...

[sharky]

Yeah, might have to get the router on it first though...bit of Sharky style CNC work :D

[sharky]

So this is the inside of the stock clutch cover.....this thing weighs in at 1.2kg !!
I'm assuming the fancy system on the back is to do with the oil...picks up at the bottom and routes it round to the thing on the right of the pic.

This is the mdf template. I actually only need a flat plate as the clutch unit does not stick out past the cases (result).

What I need now is a piece of plate about 10mm thick to make the new cover (mdf would get a bit soggy).

Iceman and Deano..you have mail.

[Jockney Rebel]

just make it out of 10mm acrylic plastic LOL

[Iceman]

quote:Iceman and Deano..you have mail.So do you ;)

[Deano]

as do you

[sharky]

Got a decent grade piece of 12mm plate today.....$15 from scrap yard :D
Ordered the oil level glass and o ring as well. Now I just need ideas on the oil filler neck.
Maybe just a tube welded on at an angle ??
I looked in the local auto store and they had some thermostat housings that might do...need buffing up but they're bolt on so that would be an easy fit....Any ideas anyone ?? [:p]

Just had a brain wave.....I already have a hole that oil can be added through...the crankcase breather hole...Add a hose and a removeable filter and bingo oil filler.:D

[sharky]

This is the cover I made up using mdf template and 12mm ali plate.
I nearly had the collar sorted until I tried to take a bit tooo much off and crunch.:(.that was that...routers don't take prisoners.....Hopefully Iceman to the rescue.;)
The back of the cover is milled out to reduce the weight, just leaving the full thickness around the gasket area and the mounting holes. Should have a new oil level window tomoro.:)
Got summat up me sleeve (besides aluminium snow) for the cover bit...gonna get creative :D

How's that look Russ? It's only 161.75mm OD not 165mm. All the other dimentions ar right. I did the best I could with what I had available.

[Jockney Rebel]

[sharky]

Oh and yes it is a rotor......from a pushy bike [:0].St/st and weighs in at 130 grams

[Iceman]

Looks great Russ, glad to see it all worked out O.K. and for future reference can you try not to use the words,'Clint, ring and cock up' in the one sentence. lol

[sharky]

Finally got the oil filler sorted...only to discover the thread size is 1 1/16" UNF 12 tpi :( Taps for this are made of Unobtanium.
Sooo I now have a nut coming from the supplier that I can get welded on the back of the case :)
Also got the cam tensioner and 2 new 'arms' for the screen. Billet ali with steel inserts, left hand thread one end. Just need to get them anodised blue.
