I've done loads of clutches, and have never ever used one, i actually did borrow one when i did the disco clutch, but none of the bits fitted..... they weren't big enough... so did what i always do, looked into the middle and did it by eye...!!!

Done it a few times by using a shaft and rapped duct tape round it to build it up to the right diameters.

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

I use the shaft of one of those wooden meat tenderisers! :lol:

Can't think where that came from - not likely to see the kitchen again now its too useful.  Was also perfect for drifiting out the spigot bearing!
