Chicken-N-Waffles My Rides (3) Posted January 10 I have a proper single-jack drilling hammer, 48oz is the perfect weight for adjusting things. Some guys can handle a 4lb jack, but for me 3lb is the sweet spot for head speed. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just dropped off my new billet basket and a used eBay '83 CR250 basket. I need the rivets removed so I can reuse the gear off it and that center spline piece pressed out and pressed into the new billet basket. I dropped it off at Carlos Serrano's shop in S Tucson. He was at his shop bench rebuilding a couple engines...His son races his old Maico with AVDRA sometimes. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done 3 of those now, it takes some serious tonnage to press that hub in there, almost scary 😬 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to use a few different local shops to see what they are good at doing. Everyone seems busy. Fingers crossed. I have a few choices for clutch plates and fibers for the '83. I can get OEM...not cheap. I can get Barnett or EBC...also not cheap or TUSK... I think the OEM plates may be aluminum, at least they were for my '88.

I think the OEM plates may be aluminum, at least they were for my '88. I just grind off rivets and punch out and I bought a harbor freight 20 ton press on sale for $130, not bad of a job. I ran those tusk plates before, they get hot and spongy quick, bad enough I put my old oem back in. I believe kevin likes those barnett's 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoronaCarl My Ride Posted January 11 I've never ran Barnett, but have always heard good things. I've always liked EBC's friction stuff, clutch or brakes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
