I'm using a mount plate that was designed for an entirely different engine.
After drilling two holes and getting some longer bolts and some washers, this seems like it should theoretically work....
.... but... but... but....
The clutch housing isn't tightening up like the smaller, original bolts tighten it from the opposite direction.
Pics necessary for description. . . . .
FRONT SIDE
BACK SIDE
I'm thinking that to close the gap, I should have one of the original screws in one of the bottom holes, then the newer, longer screw shouldn't cause as much of a gap. But I'm not doing this today, at least.
You guys think this is even that big of a problem, really?? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the clutch springs are making slightly more noise than usual, but I haven't really paid attention to noises for weeks, so I'm not sure.
I'd guesstimate the gap on the front side to be at least 1/16" of an inch, up to 1/8" of an inch. The back side is clearly not AS bad, but there is still a gap...
Thoughts?
P.S. Don't make fun of my messy LocTite job. I was doing the best I could at squeezing the last drops out of the container and holding my bike on its side, while not letting it touch the ground, since my oil sump was off and I'm afraid of dirt.
