Hello all
      It all seems a bit quiet on the forum at the moment , so i thought i would post a picture of my primary drive.
      Now, you may think a triplex primary is overkill on an A10, and i would agree with you, but years ago when i gave up on my six spring clutch, i just happened to have a three spring triplex clutch on a triumph i had at the time which was off the road, so i borrowed the clutch, was given an engine sprocket which i was told was off an A65(?), and all i needed to buy was a chain off a rocket three.
  It all works very nicely and has done for years, happy days,
                                                          cheers,
                                                                      richie

The clutch centre has its own rubber cush drive which works well, in fact i can`t remember it being much different from the original cush drive *smile*

Hi all,
      i`ve got the bike back on the road today,just done a few trips round the block on it and it seems to be all doing just what it should, which is good. Just one small oil leak from the rocker feed banjo so far (apart from the obligatory weep from the speedo drive!). I`ll put a few miles on it tomorrow then give it a thorough check over afterwards, and if all is well all i will need to do is get my horn working properly which is probably going to mean close inspection of the windings- not a 5 minute job!
      Here`s some pics of my pride and joy, i`m chuffed to bits as could be seen by the ear to ear grin on my face while i was riding it  *smile*

Looks lovely!
You can tell a lot of of care has gone into getting the fit of everything "just right".
Cheers,
Iain
