Hi.
Does anyone have some old steel clutch plates for sale, I want to make a clutch holding tool.
I'm also looking for any old workshop tools that people don't want/need anymore.
Thanks.
Clive

Where are you?? Ill lend you mine if you can collect

Hi chirpy999.
I'm in Dewsbury, West Yorks.
Anywhere near?

Clive I am in Coalville so not that close, near to NLM.

Hi chirpy.
Bit far away.
I'll see what I can cobble together.
Bit of background; I've just got the bike and at the moment I'm getting together a sort of 'to do' list, as it has been in storage for a number of years.
I've found the clutch plates are quite wet so I'm assuming the casing will have to come off to re-new oils seals, hence the reason for my old plate request.
So it is a job to be done as opposed to a job that is being done, if you see what I mean.
Thanks anyway, I appreciate your kind offer.
By the way is your Morini a 500 or, by all accounts, the more desirable 350?
I had a 350 strada about 20 year ago and I really liked it so I'm expecting a bit more of the same from the 500.

Which is why the 500 was never that popular.

More torque, yes.

More relaxed, yes.

Faster, not really.

Heavier and with a longer wheelbase.

A very late six speed is pretty nice though.

Hi Mr guru.
I like the idea of a relaxed torquey nature to a bike, it suits my riding style these days.
My last bike was a Guzzi Centauro which was fantastically torquey.
I'm sure I'll be more than happy with the 500, it is still a very attractive package and looks stunning, not to mention they seem to be quite a bit cheaper than the three fifty, perhaps when the price of the smaller model gets too much to justify, after all it is just a 40 year old Italian middleweight albeit a well designed and engineered one, the 500 might suddenly become more popular.
Getting back to my original post, can you help, with either some old steels, or perhaps even an old tool you may not use anymore.
Cheers
