It's amazing how things can stack up when you're traveling away from home, and get back to find a whole lot of "catch up" waiting for you...
Had a great trip visiting family in snowy Bend, OR; and even caught some snow in the suburbs of Seattle WA!
Working on the '62 panhead some more, need adjustment room in the clutch pack, and this outer disk rides directly on the pressure plate, no friction or wear, so I can remove this outer material to get more adjustment room...
Ground off the material with a grinding disk, reduced the thickness from 0.212" to 0.150", that 0.062" should be enough to give me my adjustment back....
Some flat black paint to keep the rust away, as moisture can and does get into this clutch pack....
(it looks wet 'cause it is, I just sprayed it....)
Aloha,
Willy
