Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Edit ... yes there is a wavy ring in the rear clutch it's used to hold the spring plate in with the spacer ring Last edited by Johnahah; 04/03/09 08:06 AM.

This snap ring has tabs at each side of the end gap where most clutch snap rings have a tab on one side and an angle-slice on the other side. Somebody has swapped in earlier parts.

Thanks for clearing that up John , I forgot about the wavy snap ring used to hold the belleville in
