·JRV: More problems with the n
JRV: More problems with the new Boxer clutch!....studs may be too short!
While assemblying the clutch onto the flywheel, on the table, I noticed that the clutch frame sits off the flywheel by about 2 mm. Those at AP Racing tell me this is normal, and that it will go down to meet the flywheel when the bolts are torqued.
The problem is that there is little thread on the studs to engage, and possibly hold the clutch housing. The stud has a threaded portion on both ends, one being longer than the other. The long end is the end removed from the flywheel. The short end was the end holding the clutch.
Facts: Hole in flywheel depth = 13.9 mm
Stud lenght = 45.2 mm
Long threaded portion of stud = 15.5 mm
Short threaded portion of stud = 12 mm
AP Racing told me they have the stud stick out, from the flywheel 33 mm.
My solution: I can get this, and it should solve the problem, but I would have to inset the short end into the flywheel, not the long end, which was originally in it. With the long end in, the useable lenght becomes only 30 mm. With the short end in the useable lenght becomes 33 mm.
The short end lenght is 12 mm deep, but the flywheel frame depth is 13.9 mm deep....it may be short, but will it be adequate?
Your opinion?
I heard that studs do not have to Locktited down....true?
