Not sure about the clutch plates. I'm a learn-as-you-go mechanic myself and have never taken a clutch apart. I'm waiting on rivets from Hall's as well. Two sets of them.
They've always done me right. In 2 years of Husky ownership, this is the first time I have ever had to wait for parts.
My custom washers are already in production. After careful consideration, I have several experts in the field of hardening of the material consulted and further processing. I picked one of the best materials for such loads. Original washers are beeing made of low carbon tool steel and then tempered on 30-32 HRC (mesured on super rockwell). Because of such surface loads i will not do tepmering, but cementation (surface hardness and core strenght). If you know the procedure, you know what i mean. Surface hardness will be aboult 65-70 HRC...that is special for wear resistance...first i will make them 12 for myself, after 5000km measure them. If they will be the same, i will produce them for further selling with ebay....
I don't quite understand your process. Are you saying they will be annealed to 30-32HRC and surface hardened to 65-70HRC? Which low carbon steel? Just curious
Original washers are tempered on 30-32HRC (when we are tempering, whole washer has the same hardness). My washers will be cemented on 65HRC (cementation is surface hardness)...material i´ve picked is DIN 20MnCr5.
If they will do their job properly i will produce them in bigger series and sell them. For europe with no problems, for US and others outside i dont know, because postage might be big expense. Price will be at least half of new ones from husqvarna!
Good news Luke! Keep us updated as to the outcome on those washers. Done an oil change on my bike recently and no signs of washers so will keep an eye on this.
Washers are produced. I have assembled my husky and it works great! After second oil change (2000km) i´will check washers. If the will be in good shape, i will offer them on ebay! I have 6 sets of 12 washers to sell. Price will be half of new husky ones (100€), that 50€ + shipping! Contact me for details! Luke
I'm still having trouble tracking down someone that can do the rivets for me. I have a bag of washers sitting here waiting to be installed.

Another excellent write up here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?p=18878949#post18878949 also an inmate, Indy Unlimited, making the washers as well.
I take it you can't see the spring cup washers 'till you remove the assembly, right? I finally took my side cover off after a couple thousand miles to check the screen. Didn't know to look at the clutch. My screens were clean. The shaft bushing is pressed in, correct? If it's loose you get a stock replacement for it? Otherwise the fix seems pretty straightforward. Thanks!
I wonder if there's a place I can ship my clutch to in order to get new spring cup washers installed. I have all the parts; just don't have the right tools for the job!
