DT1 flat track project

The new clutch flat bearing came in, so I can button up the bottom end.

A impact gun works for disassembly, but I needed a clutch hub tool to properly torque the hub nut. I took two old clutch plates, drilled four holes in one, and spot welded them together. I then notched an axle to slip over the plates and welded it on. I then narrowed the axle where it fits between the fingers of the clutch basket.

I needed block-offs for where the oil pump cable and oil lines entered the clutch cover. For the cable, I took the old adjuster part and cut it off and welded the nut to it, then smoothed and painted it. To replace the rubber grommet where the oil lines pass through I started with a piece of aluminum and used an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel to freehand cut slots to fit the cover, then polished it.

The side cover bolts I'm using are from ebay seller motodad24. Sometimes he doesn't have any items listed, so you need to keep an eye out for when he does.

Now to get busy on the top end.
