I have plenty of spares.
I also find this buisiness of taking out all slop in the clutch interesting. The whole affair is steel on steel with no formal lubrication.
So long as the toggle to post pin in not like half worn through Ive never found a problem. You just set the toggles to the right height with force pushing them in, andmake sure they are all equal and the clutch works fine every time
I once got involved with a model engineer who had built up everything with weld then re machined it all to to what appeared F1 tolerances. Apparently after 2 or 3 tests the whole thing locked solid.
One of the posts had picked up in the rear cover and that was that. As often happens when building up parts when steel on steel. But on distmantling the posts wouldnt turn in the pressure plate, and were very tight in the in the cover. Same goes for the toggles in the slots.
Half an hour with a file, introducing what he termed 'slop', had it all working perfectly. He was most disgusted but gratefull.
