[QUOTE="Jez Nemeth, post: 117342, member: 3871"] Good advice, thanx Chris, did measure and fit the plates and spring a time ago, seems good, fingers crossed -got another question though, if ever I would want to fit a Burman BAP instead of my amc/Norton Box, can the mainshafts be swopped about to fit Commando clutch, or is it back to the machine shop. Seem to have read someone had a setup like this? Having had a good look again, I can see how it could be done without too much effort using the Burman Comet Mainshaft and some fettling of the Norton Clutch parts. Not planning to swop out the Norton box, which I'm assuming has several evolutionary advantages over the BAP being later, was just a little curious. There's also the future possibility of fitting an electric starter setup down the line. Found that sprag clutch, cogs + mounts from an early GSX 750 all fit fine under the casing (its a no chain set up), but being a Norton Box, top mount stopping the fitting of the starter motor without cutting the casing about and re-welding the mounts (a la BAP). A conversation for another time perhaps... [/QUOTE]
