Re: Thick pressure plate from RGM way too thick!
From the top of the clutch pack to the deck where the clutch diaphram rest is .196". Instead of cutting down the surface which goes against the clutch, I decided to cut the outside that faces the diaphram retaining the anodized face to clutch. This is of course a little more intensive but well worth the extra effort. With the calculations, I needed to cut .080" off to bring it to flush with the top. Spring went on fine and a pinky pull clutch is attained.
This does beg the question that if it pulls this easy, might it slip under load? Well, we will just have to wait and see. I can easily bring it down some more so that the diaphram is a bit more loaded at rest.
Thank you all, especially LAB, for your inputs. It is alway a confidence builder to receive info from true Nortoneers.
