Im putting a clutch brake on my wifes DB( I have had bad experience with the hydros) and I have a few questions. First off Im using promods clutch gaurd, so I drilled a hole in the clutch gaurd mounting plate. I just eyed it up best I could( with my 1 eye). I did some searching and found ppl saying a4" band should be used on MT clutchs( so I ordered one from OldMiniBikes). I took a band off my TS-101, dunno the size but I think its a 4"(I think the drum measured 4"), jst to start messing with it till my package arrives this week. The only bolts I could find that looked like they would work at TSC might be 1/4" too short (Ill try my local hardware guy tommorrow). It completely grabs the drum just is off center a bit, towards the sprocket. im using a used cable, but still works fine, I just dont have a spring to put in there for a return on hand( I will get one).
I took it for a test run and it works pretty good. I think I bent the band a lil putting it on:doah:and without the return spring it barely drags. Im wondering does the band have to be perfect center to the clutch drum? Also do ppl drill a hole in the bolt to run the cable thru the top of the band? I hope that makes sense. Can you guys show me some close up pics of your homeade clutch brakes? I DID search and thats where I got my ideas, but couldnt find any close pics to see the top bolt ect..
Thanks guys for any help....... Korey
