Over the last few days I've assembled the primary drive and the clutch, tightening the mainshaft nut in the process.
I've installed the clutch spring studs with Loctite 271, the red thread locker. That won't come loose; originals were peened in place, but it's not 1950.
Fitting the plates revealed some rocking. I pulled them all out again, and found that three of the four plain plates were distorted by up to 2 mm, and discoloured from heat.
Geoff will send some new ones tomorrow.
