I will give machining the hub a bash and try with a diaphragm - I have a spare off my 1275 - and if I mess up I'll have to get a new flywheel for it.

Jemal - email me an offer for all 5 of them plus shipping. I believe the MG1100 also used this type of clutch setup.

Yes, the type that use the 6 springs that look like valve springs in the center hub, and the hub looks like the one in my video are obsolete, can't get the pressure plates, so usually have to change to the diaphragm spring style we're all used to. You CAN bolt a later hub (from the 2-peice pre-Verto style flywheels into the outer flywheel and ring gear of one of the early ones, but it is usually the hub that gets damaged on the crank, so it's not as if good ones are common!
I've made pullers out of standard hubs, but they are not as cool as the old 850 hubs with the "lightening holes"!

Sorry Don, but if anybody has a good used light weight flywheel (Pre-Vert) I'd be interested............

Back when the USPS flat rate thing first started (before they got smart and started printing identifying marks both inside and outside the box), they had a flat rate box that would JUST hold a single mini flywheel but didn't have room to really pad / protect the teeth / keep if from tearing through. I mailed one that way once.
Not sure about now,though. They've changed sizes and added regional rate and so on. Some box sizes are only available through the mail. Free, but you have to get them mailed to you.

If you find any pre-vertos, you could ship them west in Hugh's empty trailer ...

I wonder if one would fit a large flat rate box USPS. I realize my collection of verto flywheels is getting really deep. I will look at what I have in pre verto. Steve (CTR)

I had a lead on one and it was about $25 shipping fedex home from AZ to WA but the guy pulled out and decided to keep it.
PS - just realized you are in Prince Albert - OK shipping would be crazy!
