Hello,
Question ⁉️
What she'll be then the length of clutch pushrod when I fit 4 plates?
6 springs clutch.
Turns out my pushrod were welded so I think of sourcing new one ..

Here are the different clutch baskets:
Three are the deeper type that will accept 5 plates and the odd one is the 4 plate variant:

The deeper ones are like this (39mm deep):

The shallower one is here (34mm deep):

The push rod will depend on the length of your mainshaft
I have two here, one is 18 1/2 long (for a s/a mainshaft in std T box)
The other is 18 1/4 and probably too short for an s/a gear box os if it is correct for yours you are welcome to it.
On a related topic here are the three spare dynamo fibre gears I have:
There is a slimmer one is 0.385" wide (the one with holes and the other two are same teeth and diameter bit 0.51" wide

Hi Neil,
Many thanks for sharing.
Inner basket (34mm- think 4 plates) I have one.
So either of this 39mm deep would do for 5 plates, right?

As for the fibre gear ideal is the middle one. I would go for it

Please let me know if you have my email on PW so we can agree details.
Cheers
Dan

What's new?
Current state : waiting for oil pump spindle.
I have prepared all bearings of big end (new) are in place.
Few bits ordered in UK waiting for shipment to Poland....

No idea why !

Just received parts from Amazon.
This finally came from UK-weird!
Ready to assemble the engine...

Before you fit the gear in case hold them up togeather  helix gear should mesh nicely and by sight should be at exact right angles , a lot of aftermarket are miles out ,also measure the shaft and the inside of case ,again some pattern ones are under size and rattle around in case when running ,hope you understand what I am trying to say ,regards Roy

[Dan_B33]

Hi Roy,
Many thanks for advising!
Yes I get you point. Will check both pieces.
I have taken set of two just because on Amazon this come close to the price of oil pump drove spindle (compared to UK) . I think source might be even the same. If they fit I will replace both.

Hopefully a couple of photos are attached ,you can see the original items are square ,and the pattern drive spindle the helix gear is incorrect,also the diameter of some pattern drive spindle are undersize ,the original spindle measures 0.6345  ,regards Roy

I have measured it: 06325....the same is the old one. Thou old one is a but higher. 3.235inch old one and new one 3.151inch.
Will that hurt?

[Dan_B33]

The other question is abou the warm nut...this new one looks like has higher lock groove other dimension are same. Shall I machine new lock key? And looking at old part this warm threads towards the end are grind so there is no thin ending....shall I adjust it same way in new part....to stay on the safe side and avoid small pieces of metal flying in the oil...later

Dan ,if not allready first check the helix on both the pump drivespindle and the engine. Pinion gear to make sure they run square ,you can see in the 2x photo I sent the difference against the set square pattern one is not. Correct , looking at your pinion gear then I think to be safe make new woodruff key ,the length of the spindle may not be a problem  but you need to Check cearfull when you assemble ,regards Roy
