Can anyone point me to a spec for side play tolerance on the bell housing on mc-1 (1980)? Seems a little excessive but there’s no slop up and down. Could be the shim washers have worn? Thx.
Thanks alldodge. I've pulled the hingepins. There's a little slop in the bushings, but not terrible. I have misplaced my mike, so don't have an exact measurement, but I'd say the washers are on order 10 to 20 thousandths. If anyone knows what thickness they are supposed to be, please holler. I'll keep checking to see if I can find some reference to thickness or play.
Thanks, but it looks like it's actually item 11. No thickness is given on that item that I can see. I'm going to order some anyway, maybe the pins too. It's only a few bucks.
