Early Multiplate clutch un usual starter

Brendan, you Model A Roadster looks very nice.

I've got an early Model A Roadster too, but not finished. Going to try to finish it by mid summer.

Thanks mate
I think it is about the journey not the destination, I worry about what happens when it is finished and on the road. is the Hamb the dark side?
I pulled the drive to bits tonight the shaft has a chip at the key way, I found 1 spring only, i wonder if this is an early reproduction part.

From your picture it looks like the original correct Abell drive and I've never seen a repro of that style. I have a different kind of repro drive for the 1/2" shaft like I've never seen or heard of before. I'll have to find it and post a picture.

Which spring do you have, heavy, or light? Do you have the collar that fits between the two springs?
 
Yes, the light spring keeps the drive from moving forward with the engine running, and the collar must contain the compressed fine spring to protect it from damage when the heavy spring is compressed. So, you can see the dimensions are critical. I'll see if I can find my parts and get the measurements.

If you can measure the length of the 1/2 inch shaft as well please, I think mine may have been welded at some stage.
Thanks
Brendan
