Borg and Beck / clutch release lever adjustment
bellemecanique.ch replied to bellemecanique.ch's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Thank you very much for your answers and the funny video 🙂 I couldn't adjust the clutch without a jig. So I asked at ramclutches.com. I was pleased to receive the following information from Mike Norcia: I have learned from this that the clutch travel should be limited by the levers so that the clutch cannot wear down to the rivets! Depth to the rivets: 2 x 1.7mm = 3.4mm Height under the clutch basket: 2.8mm This means, that if the clutch is worn evenly on both sides, there is 0.3mm left so that the rivets do not destroy the flywheel and the pressure plate... Maybe that helps someone else in the future.... Greetings: Thomas / Bellemecanique.ch -

And here are some more pictures to clarify which measure I mean... 🙂 Of course, I then set the 3 clutch release levers to the same height with the dial gauge.... -
Hello everyone, I'm repairing a friend's Plymouth P23 1952 and am currently working on the clutch. I have faceturned the flywheel and got a new clutch. Unfortunately, the clutch release levers were set very differently. That's why it plucked. Because a bad mechanic worked on it before me, I now don't know what the original setting was.... Unfortunately, the repair manual does not give any measurement (from the surface of the flywheel to the height of the release lever). It merely states that the correct dimension can be set using device no. C-985 and bushing no. 20 and the 3 feeler gauges... But now I'm sitting here in Switzerland with medium language skills without the device and even the clutch profis here have no idea about the matter... Can anyone give me information on the height of the fingers in relation to the running surface of the flywheel when mounted? Best regards and thanks: Thomas Neeser

1952 Plymouth Clutch Pedal Lift Spring
bellemecanique.ch replied to grea235's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Dear Grea235, thank you very much for your reply. Honestly, I didn't quite understand the meaning of the construction. I thought it might be necessary for the movement of the motor in relation to the fixed body... So I'll probably ream the hole and turn a suitable bronze bushing. Or maybe I'll make such a spring myself... Best regards from Switzerland: Thomas Neeser -
