Forgot to mention an immediate (and free) source for a 2mm clutch hub...just take the one you have off of your transmission. Then, you'll just need to pick up a long bolt (should be 12mm x 1.5mm) and a bunch of 1/2" washers to use as spacers, etc. The only thing that is especially nice about the ready-made tools is that the center hole (where the bolt goes through) is sized to fit the diameter of the bolt. Thus, your plates will be centered. But, you can either find/create a spacer of the correct size, or just do it by eye.

Hi Steve,
The special tool is not required...just makes life easier...definitely doable without it, just take your time so that you don't bend the intermediate plate.
Yes, an old hub is just a good as the special tool. Not sure where to get an old 2mm hub, though.

Hey Tom, I'd be interested to see that cradle too, as I think my lift sounds similar to yours. Also I'd be interested in some way to put fork
oil in through the drain.
I'm cleaning and polishing the Eldo for reassembly, after much debate decided to wait on the RAM clutch till next year and just replace the friction plates for now. On the subject of Clutch re-assembly how hard is it to do without an alignment tool? Is buying an alignment tool ala MG cycle worth the $. Is it true an old clutch/trans input gear can be used? If so does anyone know where I can get one? (I have old style 2mm splines on my hub. I guess that's enough questions for one post.
