Torque for the 500 center clutch nut

What should it be ? Wouldn't seem to be that critical with a locking tab washer on it, but I should get it right.

What's a good source for clutch shims (500W) in USA

I DO NOT want to buy them from the UK because in these COVID times trans Atlantic shipping takes weeks. If I have the right od / id they're not a standard McMaster Carr / Motion Industries size. Anyone in the USA know where I can get them here? PS STILL waiting for my "flywheel" puller whi...

Re: What's the clutch hub part number ?

Ah hah. Step one on the road to fixing this looks easy. My steel plates and friction plates are ALL the same throughout the clutch ! So I need to order the "special" friction and concave plate that go adjacent to the engine. I'm still not clear about the basket to hub shimming. I'll do som...

On Saturday 20th Feb. I'll take delivery of my first ever Morini, a 1980 500cc. I'm in Asheville, NC, USA. Is there a register of USA owners ?
