Hi,
I've been having all sorts of issues with setting my clutch after I fitted a different clutch plate which had been repaired by inserting pegs into the worn part of the toggle slots.
Essentially the repair pegs were too proud of the slot bottom so I cut these back to achieve enough clutch engagement but, despite being very careful, I have ended up with the toggles being different heights and this is causing clutch vibration.
Ideally I should shorten the repair pegs a bit more adjusting the amount removed to get the toggles all the same height but this would be difficult without removing the posts and to do this I'd have to remove the clutch lining. In addition I don't know how the repair pegs are retained and I'm a bit concerned they may simply be headed which would mean taking any more off the top could make them vulnerable to pushing through.
The easiest solution would seem to be to bend the toggles as mentioned in a number of articles but can this be done cold as a friend suggested and is it OK with the new toggle arms I got from Seven Workshop? Also how hard is it to control the amount you're bending it by as the final result needs to be quite accurate.
John.
