Re: Primo Clutch Rebuild

My preference is a "big fix" long roller kit,
and a "ram jett retainer"..look in the catalogues or call
Anglo-American m/cs.

Re: Primo Clutch Rebuild

FUlly agree! Throw the caged bearing to the bottom of the garden the wobble makes the take up un relailable. Couple the long roller kit with the ram jet kit which will make the clutch take up and operation as smooth as a high class strumpet's under garments! The build is not difficult as the instructions than come with the kits are good. To complete the package you may want to consider the free floating nytlaton disk for the between the drive and driven faces at the inside end of the clutch although this will likley require a bit of ferkeling as the disk is designed for use with the OEM bearing and the long rollers can bind in as the ID of the disk needs to be increased a few mm to clear the bearing rollers

Hope this makes sense.
