Front sprocket cover fractured = no clutch

[BEAR]

Pity you can't get the bits back. The item shown above as a cure is OK, but doesn't completely remove flex. Most of the flex is in the large flat section of the cover that is over the final drive. That's a fairly large flat section, and not very thick. The bracket commenly used sort of works OK but you need to do a bit of fitting. First the diameter for the slave cylinder is a bit tight and adjusting that is relatively simple but bear in mind the bolt centres. They move as you grind. Then there's the water pipe to bend (if you're game, and finally the water catch tank. So quite a bit of work and even after that, mine still flexed a bit. You can see the pipe union on the slave cylinder move. So it helps, but whether or not it's the duck's nuts in all cases is .....?
I have heavier springs, so fitted mine, and we'll just have to wait and see.
If you can get the parts back, or if anyone has broken bits that can be re-assembled, I'd gladly pay freight to get the bits!!
