Hi, all-
I am using a Newby clutch on a G15-CS, and one of the issues is clearance between the mainshaft and the clutch pressure plate. Long story short, shortened mainshaft 2mm per Newby's instructions, but put on a clutch seal which has eliminated the clearance I created.
Question: I relieved some metal off the inside of the clutch plate, but need to take off more.

Concerned with the elimination of threads for the adjuster screw and am considering a steel thread insert to increase the interface area with the aluminum plate.
1- Is this a vaild approach?
2-Which type of insert would be best (timesert type? Helicoil?) and how should I install it?
Thanks!
