Reassembling the 403: 13 May 2014
|
|
|
Parts accurately lined up before the 100B engine goes back in the
engine bay of the 403
|
|
It looks quite nice, doesn't it?
|
26 May 2014: the engine is in
|
|
New supports, refurbished ancillaires etc
|
29 May: new clutch disaster
|
|
|
The old clutch pressure plate is much maligned, so i bought a
diaphragm-type clutch pressure plate
|
Fitting it would be a breeze, the seller said. Unfortunately, it
didn't fit and the original leverage was not compatible. The seller made
himself invisible to my e-mail requests so the situation looked
grim.....
|
|
|
I asked for help about it to Peter Campbell of Spencer Lane-Jones.
As usual he was quick, competent and extremely kind: Peter immediately
identified the problem and sent me the clutch block that will adapt the
old leverage to the new clutch. A real help, and I recommend them
|
This looks like a straightforward modification and well done. I only
wonder why the seller of the clutch didn't sell me also this part. I
also wonder why he doesn't answer to my several e-mails....
