Hi BernardNew clutch drum, as the old one was too far gone, checked before for any hang ups with tangs and basket, same for the new centre and the friction plates, they are all nice and free, springs I am going to get a new set as the free length seems a bit short at 41mm my notes (RGM) say the free length of a new spring is 45.2mm and the springs do look tied.BobThought something was wrong as the Commando needs a bit help with a screw driver, I also remember the 1958 99 Dominator was also a bit hard, used the box out of it in three different applications, first was Triton, second was in the Manx as it had a kick starter and better gearing for the road, and third in a TQ (Three quarter Midget) behind a two valve Jawa Speedway engine, and I still have it, some 50 years later, pity I didn't have the whole bike to go with it.Ordered new springs, spring cups and a couple of other parts.Burgs
