No, but that girl is the one that complains about you being in the way & slowing the whole group down.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Have you read that 1st clutch breaking can be due to too much play between shoes and drum ?
Paul said to stretch a little the springs with a screwdriver.
Rowan had the idea to reduce the play with a weld spot on steel shoes.
( Here a screw screwed on brass shoes to reduce play but not a total good idea if I've understand cause the screw go away even with Loctite)

I saw in an old magazine article you should open the springs with a screw driver to reduce the play.

What said Lynn about too much play between shoes !
I have owned 3 of the 430 AE's. I performed a simple modification to correct, or at least improve the problem. The shoes have play in them when not under load. Try putting a small weld bead on the back of the short flat part of the shoe where it meets the next shoe. Grind the weld down to where it is flat, but leave enough weld to act as a spacer between the shoes and keep the springs tight, even at rest. When the springs are not tight, they break easily. As always, be sure you change the oil after every ride. Someone used to make a simple spring retainer that fit under the nut and held the springs in place. In the event that a spring did break, you were still able to ride the bike to get back to your vehicle. Maybe someone else on here has one or can remember who made them. I hope this helps.

Thankyou Michel, your help has been great. All the springs are tight & the spring retainer is in place & the cover has been welded (pics coming), now I just have to make sure that the cover hasn't warped & I'll put it back together.
I've had minor surgery & when I recover from that I'll go give it another blast.
