kfields Posted October 4, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 4, 2020 Nice DI ! Would like to see the reverse if you don't mind. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted October 5, 2020 Sure no problem but unfortunately no attachment anymore, you can clearly see it was a reinforced block with a pin. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 6, 2020 Share #9 Posted October 6, 2020 This could be repaired by getting an old Collar Disc and using this discs clutch plate. You'll note the attachment on one on the right bottom is just that, a Collar disc clutch plate. You would need to get a disc that is Unhallmarked, no markings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
