Clutch inspection time

TonyA said:

Not exactly identical. The inner hub on my New clutch has the 2.5mm oil holes drilled in to it. I would not assume all clutch baskets will fail . The quality and consistency of the riveting comes to mind on the Norton 961 clutch. I don’t know what year they started drilling the holes. But all inner hubs can be copied. By the time you add shipping and labor the cost could be the same as a new basket. Also , you can attempt a Local AUS repair shop route . If you can find out about spares from Judd would be great. Fingers crossed that Norton will actually sell you spares!

Agreed Tony. Had an initial conversation with Judd - no apparent problem with purchase. I’ll give you guys the full story once confirmed.

Unfortunately I think the springs will eventually eat their way into the aluminium sockets on all bikes. Putting steel buttons on the ends of the springs ( as somebody did on mine) should slow it down I think.
