Reproduction of a single cork filled disc clutch

Post by Les Schubert » Sat Mar 28, 2020 3:57 pm

So I am close to finishing making most of a clutch that is part of a era 3 speed sliding gear transmission for the T.
Now that I have the programming and method figured out, I am wondering if any one else needs one?
This one was actually made originally in Canada and I believe uses 25 Chev gears.
However the clutch seems to be a pretty good design.
Sorry no pictures at this time

Les,

That is interesting... wow that casting has some pretty thin areas milled into it. Those plates are pretty much one position one side up. Can you show us some photos of the unit when you get it off of your mill? Perhaps photos of it disassembled with the parts shown.

Thanks, TH
