+does the outer clutch hub have a ridge on the inside where the plate sits ?
Barnett discs and springs are some of the best on the market. Be sure to get the correct spring length.
I put a set on my 75' in the late 80s.
Put a lot of miles down with no problems.

steel plates are rusted, not going to reuse them, 7 plate clutch, are the steel plates the same from all suppliers ?
I have an 1980 .I vaguely remember differences in the clutches 3 types one older but at about that point in time there was plates with different thickness Dont remember but the outermost friction plate was thinner on later if i Recall right so be careful you get the correct set
maybe Info there

Did you get the Barnett discs yet? Where did you get them from. I might be looking for a set too.

Check flea bay for plates
They come in two thickness specs. Know what you need and what you’re buying.
