Hi All
Not sure if anyone's posted something similar, but thought I'd share the pattern I used to make up a clutch holder for my STOCK clutch...
I really struggled to tighten the Clutch nut to 80NM, and was slowly destroying my clutch basket every time the clutch-holder slipped... So I made a DXF template for laser cutting, and had the holder below cut out at work (yes, I am a lucky bastard).
The attached DXF file (inside the .ZIP) is based on a stock clutch plate. It fits my clutch beautifully; just loose enough for easy positioning, but holds the clutch on all grooves firmly. Torqueing the bolt is a breeze with this tool. I had mine laser cut out of 3.2mm (1/8") stainless. I wouldn't use anything thicker than 6mm (1/4") plate, or it may need extra filing to make it fit (depending on the kerf of the laser used).
Feel free to send the DXF out for laser cutting, if anyone needs it. Hope it helps another noob like me
