Olympic Rings (aka clutch plates)


Well maybe not, there are only 4 (not 5) and they aren't organised correctly, but just imagine, if there was one more (it would be a 5 plate clutch) it would be the same number as the Olympic rings and if it was organised differently, it would look just like them. If you want to know more about the Olympic rings, click here, if you want to know about Izzy's clutch, stay here and keep reading.

I soaked the new cork plates overnight (as you do and I'm sure you know why) in oil, prior to assembly, funnily enough, in a tub in the lounge much to DB's dismay, but it made it easier for me to turn them to make sure they were well soaked (not said in a cockney accent) just thoroughly soaked.

I then fitted the strengthened clutch springs, held in place with a dab of grease (supplied with the Gori kit, the springs, not the grease) as you can see below.



Then the clutch basket, followed by new cork (and steel) plates went in, one after the other, repeat until done.


Pic above is basket with no plates, pic below is basket with all cork and metal plates fitted (and clutch compressor still in place). Well, even I couldn't be bothered to take a pic of each one in turn being fitted, that would be far to dull for you to look at dear viewer.


What I will do though, in the way of bonus of Sunday night pics, is put another 2 from different angles, with the clutch compressor still in place...................



No idea why, so dont ask........

Followed by a further 3 pics with the compressor gone, and the clutch all happy and as it should be (including its retaining circlip) from different angles for your delight and delectation :-)




Don't say I never give you anything to look at, goodbye for now..................
