Triumph Vitesse. Seized Clutch Restoration.

Brand new clutch installed 40 years ago and never used so it seized solid. I show you how I restored the same clutch back to a serviceable condition.

How will you prevent this from reoccurring?

[@itsalldoable]

That's easy, my workshop is humidity controlled at maximum 50% it needs to be above that for rust to form. I have had bare mild steel sitting around for years and no rust on them at all. 👍

I don't call them a driven plate, I call them a friction plate, because they have friction material

[@itsalldoable]

I wasn't sure myself so I looked on the Canleys Classics website and that is what they called it in their detail parts list. But I agree with you on friction plate. Ah well it's done now 🤷🏼‍♂️
