Engine Re-Assembly Clutch Basket

[B25bsaboy]

When ever I torqued the clutch basket down on the older Triumph's and Norton Commando's I had a make shift tool that locked in the basket so that I can take a torque wrench to the proper ft/lbs. I checked with the local Triumph dealer and they want stupid money for the Clutch Anti-Rotation Jig Parts # 3880025-T0301.

My question is does anyone have this that I can borrow or some old clutch plates that I can make one up?

Or what has been the experience you folks have had in the past to lock the basket in place to complete this task in torquing the clutch basket in place?

ive used a wedge of wood between the clutch basket gear and drive gear , im not saying its right but it gets the job done if your stuck.

Your right it's not safe, but guess what - Been There Done That!

Thanks for the reply
