powell clutch bearings

[jescot]

Does anybody know the size, and how many bearings, are in the clutch of a 1969 powell challenger? I am in the process of restoring one. If you have any to sell, let me know.

Do you mean bushings?

No, it is ball bearings. I don't have any so I cant take a picture.

He is correct with bearings , Powell clutches had ball bearing in them instead of springs .
My brother has a NOS Powell clutch , I will see if I can get him to check the size . I don't think he has calibers bout we will work it out .

Thanks.

Is this the clutch you have

 

[jescot]

Yes, that is the clutch I have. I feel silly asking how many bearings there are when all I had to do is count the bearing slots. jescot

Its the simple things in life that mess us up the most,lol.

 

[jescot]

Oh well, I still need the bearing diameter. By the way that sure is a good looking bike!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe there are 11 ball bearings in the clutch. Not sure about the exact size and weight

 

[jescot]

Yes, there are 11 bearings. I just need to know the size. Thanks for your input.
