pug=309 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hello, i just received my son's christmas (Schumacher picco x28) and on opening the box noticed that there was no collet screw to hold the clutchbell on, is this the norm with buying new engines (including no instructions) or are these items that have to be sourced ourselfs? And if we have to source them, are they specific to the engine/model/maker or would any .28 collet and bell screw do? Thank you Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Normal .... Collet comes with the flywheel screw to hold on the clutchbell is just a standard machine screw. Can't recall offhand if it's M3 or M2.5, but it's not a special part 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug=309 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Bollocks, right ill need to try and find one for this sliding clutch we got him, anyone know where i can get a collet for a Fioroni turbo sliding clutch/flywheel?

Andythecrane Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Would a 1/8 scale collet fit ? They are only a couple of quid. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pug=309 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 On a slightly related note, how much space is there to be between the flywheel and the crankcase? And do you stop the collet from sliding back when trying to tighten the flywheel nut? Thanks Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 For my application, I have 3 shims between the flywheel and engine. And that gives me a perfect alignment with the spur gears. Shimming also allows the collet to press against when tightening up the clutch nut. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pug=309 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Is this specific flywheel shims, or just normal washers? Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andythecrane Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Just thin brass washers of the correct size Sent from my Hudl HT7S3 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
