Clutch friction plates

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

Hi all. Has anybody got any clutch friction plates surplus to requirements ? I’m looking for the traditional type with Ferodo sintered asbestos button inserts. Must have plenty of life left in them and have no chewed-up tongues. Might consider a complete or incomplete clutch. Cash waiting, or will exchange for Scott parts that you need, if I’ve got them… Contact details as listed in Yowl under Section Information, or send me a PM.

Should have — will need to get into the hayloft, but the Swallows are nesting and rearing the second brood —
Will get back to you.

Thanks. Went into the old hayloft above my front outbuilding a couple of years ago and disturbed a truly massive wasps’ nest. Collected about 6 stings all on my head. Then last Saturday I went into my old “Tow-a-Van” trailer to clear it out ready for the Rally on Sunday. I lifted up an old duvet that I use to cover the bike in transit, and yes, another wasps’ nest !! Fortunately a much smaller one, and I ran away and avoided getting stung. Discretion was the better part of valour. I hate wasps….

In a previous life I was a pestie — problem was, everyone thought they could deal with them, until.
Then it was “Could you deal with this nest now, we have a party, kids, I’m allergic, Granny coming round” etc.
Not once did they tell you they had already wound the blighters up! Would get there and all hell would break loose!!
Such fun, especially as I hated beekeeper suits and would not wear one, just a T-shirt, my choice but nimble footwork was the order of the day.
Hornets were interesting.

Hi Brian,
There is an e-mail winging its way to you.

[BRIAN MARSHALL]

Thanks Mike. (I’ve replied).

Many thanks !! To anyone else reading this, Mike very kindly sold me three friction plates. I do have another incomplete clutch, and so I am looking for another three friction plates of the type with Ferodo sintered asbestos button inserts. Anybody ? My contact details are as listed in Yowl under Section Information, or send me a PM.
