Comparison of old and new inner chaincases:
The weight of the old one, with the starter gears including the infamous sprag clutch, plus the starter motor!
Touch of polish on the new case - used it mainly on the gasket surface in the hope the mild abrasion will smooth the surface.
New inner chaincase now fitted, along with chain tensioner, clutch basket, crankshaft sprocket and primary chain.
Slight pause while I wait for clutch holding tool. Couldn't think of a work around to get the centre nut torqued down.
Yes, you can weld or rivet a couple clutch plates together but I don't have welding or riveting kit and anyway, new plates would be more expensive than the tool and take the same time to arrive.
