Adrian Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hi all Interesting one, firstly whilst reassembling the mini flywheel / Clutch I was following the Haynes guide. Every time I offered up the flywheel the engine seized with no rotation, after much head scratching and taking apart and re installing I thought I'd check at what point the rotation stopped. Turned out the new slave cylinder bolts were a fraction longer and fouled on the flywheel teeth! Out with the grinder and the bolts rectified and can now progress. So fitting the spring plate and making sure the balance marks are aligned....the spring plate has 2 'A's marking balance points. Does this mean either point would balance out or did the engineer in the factory have a fit whilst balancing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 two A's obviously a bright spark !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Lewis Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 would worry too much ............ one of them may/ will be right !!! it depends if the pressure plate is matched to the spring plate , if its all been changed there's likely no A to match too after all this time Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
