Subject: Re: LG45 Carbon Clutch Release Bearing
Thanks for the replies chaps.
Have been looking but so far have not found the right size.
Yes one could turn down one that is over sized OD provided the bore is not too big and that would be easier than machining from solid.
I did successfully machine the outside diameter of one before but boring it out without the tool chattering and breaking the carbon is difficult and I was wanting to get this back together as soon as I can and just hoped that somebody might offer one up.
Thanks for the tip about Morgancarbon ... that is the supplier that a local mechanical seal company I used to work for some thirty years ago sourced their carbon seal faces from ...so a good idea, and I feel embarrassed for not thinking of them myself!
I have been thinking of getting a batch of carbon rings produced and offering them to the Club.
Are there any LG45 owners that would want one too ?
Best Regards
Bill
