Has anyone heard from Speeddog recently? He was helping me source parts but he has gone radio silent over the last several weeks. With all the shit going on I was wondering if anyone has had contact with him recently.........

He's logged on the forum, so he's still kicking.

Maybe he doesn't like you anymore. Grin

Mark, I'm very sorry about how this has worked out up to this point, and I apologize for going radio silent.
I've been largely unable to exclude the general chaos, and my efficiency is at an all time low.
I'm making some changes expressly to eliminate some of the chaos and improve my efficiency.

No worries 'Dog. I am in manufacturing and I certainly understand the chaos, this has been an absolute beating of a year.

I was just wondering where we stood.

I'm glad you are OK!

So I have my stuff and the clutch plates arrived "stacked" and in order. For the life of me I cannot identify anything different between the regular 1.5mm steel plates and the concave 1.5mm plates. Is the concave part small enough to not be noticed?

And the instructions say to degrease the steel plates, but I don't feel anything on them. Will a simple wipe down suffice?

Wipe them down with a solvent. Brakekleen works great.

Sometimes there is a stamped dot on the curved or convex plate. It is often 0.5mm or so thinner than the other plates.

Am I supposed to clean ALL of the discs or just the plain steel ones?

If the discs were packaged with steel against fiber, clean them all. If the fibers were packaged separately, you can install them as is. Cleaning with brakleen won't hurt them either way.

So, it isn't working...... Angry

The lever actually feels exactly like it did when I started having trouble, it is like the lever will not pull in far enough to push the rod all the way out. This is all of the movement I am getting.

20210220_175559 by Mark Hanis, on Flickr

Is that the necessary distance? Is it possible that there is something wrong with my slave or master? It just doesn't feel "right" like I said, the lever feels just like it did when I started all of this.

Had you done any of those PP mods just prior to having trouble? Do you still have the stocker you can swap in?

You don't need much movement for a clutch to disengage.

Nothing was changes for several thousand miles before I started having trouble. I just too the opportunity to replace the pressure plate and springs since it was all going to be apart.

I'll try the previous pressure plate and derby back.

Is there a minimum movement measurement?
