Well today i went to put the clutch on the motor and the dealer gave me the wrong size dowel pins for the fly wheel.. so i cant put the drive train together..is there anywhere that would have them in stock?? anywhere between sac and modesto...i dont care i just need them..i checked all the dumb fawks at autozone, pep boys, napa, and all of them looked at me like i was a moron and told me there was no such thing.. where can i get them on a weekend??

Like the saying goes, "it's a direct fit with a lathe, mill & welder"....I don't know how I got along before I got all 3. Now everything just "fits"

the next time you need clutch parts go to capital clutch and brake in west sac. the knowledge those guys have is unbelievable. they stock everything under the sun too.

well that sucks...i am goin to check with my uncle tommorow...he works at modesto clutch and brake...if he cant help me i guess ill do a self lathe lesson in the morn

Depending on the size you could chop up some junk drill bits. I always save my broken bits cause they're handy timesavers.
Or pick up some c/r roundstock at the hardware store/welding shop if you can find one open. Set the pins in with high strength locktite.

The drill bit idea sounds great. Especialy if you dont have a lathe.

Orchard supply normaly has some smaller steel in stock..ill stop by there in the morn and pick up some...arnt drill bits a little brittle to be used as dowels??

i actully just got off the phone with my uncle...he was sayin i really dont have to have them...they are just there for lining up the pressure plate...so i am goin to run without em...it will just make it harder to line everything up but i am sure ill figure it out

that's what i was going to tell u.. i don't think it's important as long as it's lined up correctly.. the dowel pin isn't there for strength, just alignment.. run w/out it i think you'll be just fine.

One of the local machine shops has forgotten to put the dowles back into a couple of my flywheels. It never made any differance in the install.

Or you can just cut the threads and the head off some 1/4"bolts,
and insert the shank thats left. Dennis
