Early excelsior clutch 1917

[danf19]

I am trying to reassemble my early 1917 Excelsior clutch. It’s been a while since I took apart, and of course I can’t find the pictures that I took when I did that.
Would anyone be able to tell me the order of the steel and fiber disc and also do the springs get any sort of lube?
Thank you I’ll post some pictures later

Hello, Dan. These pictures are of my 1916 Excelsior clutch. I believe clutch disk picture is the correct sequence of steel, and fiber disks.

I recall that the pressure plate springs are protected from the elements, but could use some light 'Never-Seize' lubricant but don't get any on the clutch plates. Beautifully made clutch, but needs as much attention as a new-born baby to keep it happy.

Thank you . Did you reuse your fiber disc or purchase new ones ? If so from whom? Are the new ones Kevlar ?
What other “attention “ do they need ?
I notice that I have one more steel disc and one more fiber . Did they vary ?
thanks
Dan
