I purchased a set of anti-rattle springs for my 65 and found that they were made of too thin of wire to hold themselves in position. Out of the three I needed to install only one actually worked and fit. I worked on this all night with little success. I stopped in at my local Massey garage today and he sold me three of his. Not sure of the brand. They were heavier and made slightly different. They worked perfectly. I had them on in minutes. The difference as far as I could tell was the proper springs were made of a 12 gauge wire and the ears were 3/8 in long. The junk ones were made of a 14 gauge wire and the ears were only 1/4 inch. The tension of the spring would bend the ears and jump past the retainers. I should mention that the broken springs that started this mess were made of the thinner material. The cost for the heavier springs was the same as the thinner ones at $4 a piece. If ya find yourself in these shoes, hold out for the heavier springs. Now, it's time to line up a clutch without a tool... This should be fun. Cheers Aaron

Hi, That will definately be fun. It is vital that the main plate aligns with the spiggot bearing and also of course the PTO plate. Can you make up some sort of guide using a bit of steel pipe and duct tape. The more accurate it is the better but if you can hold the main plate in place then release the slave screws. Rotate the flywheel, you will be able to see the edge of the plate and judge whether it is central.
We have purchased some non-gen springs in the past, you are right, they are cr*p. The legs were in the wrong place and too short. Gen ones...perfect.
Good luck
DavidP
