Sch.4419 herewith shows the clutch spigot bearing in the crankshaft for this clutch. It is suggested that the latest type of New Departure self sealing bearing is tried. The bearing we show is the next size smaller than that shewn on the Borg and Beck drawing SK.30604/2 but by New Departure rating has a higher load capacity. HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
