Setting clutch levers - Bryan - 10-09-2017
Just put the new linings on my 1930 motor and assembled the clutch today.
Found my lever tips were only about 1" off the clutch plate (explains why there wasn't much clutch movement when I got the car).
I've added the 5mm rollers and now am a bit confused on setting the levers height.
My question is how far off the plate they should be set too?
Woodrow gives a measurement of 1"1/4
The companion gives 5/16" from a straight edge across the flywheel housing - this Gives a distance of just under 1-3/4" from the plate.
Ps found a good use for the induction tool- heating the levers to adjust them
Thanks
Bryan

Hi Bryan
I always set them to exactly 1/4 of and inch - measured from a straight edge off the back of the crankcase (this was the measurement that Mr Dalby recommended ).
This gives a nice clutch.
Do make sure they are exact and all the same.
I am sure that you will be happy with that.
