101 Scout... going to take a while

Re: the clutch on the 101...I re-used the plates that were in there because they looked to be in great condition. There's plenty of sources that tell you how to stack the plates, but I could not find a single source that detailed the outer three friction plates and how to orient the grooves. I suppose it makes little difference, but I wanted to do it by the book. Finally found a period factory service announcement that laid it out plainly:

...here's how I did it:

My hat is off to you, Harry. The nit-picking details can be both fun, and miserable but it's the devotion that will see you through. I am amazed how we can have a great day successfully fixing little sh!t, and then the next day is nothing but fixing big sh!t. I always think of the people that conceived, designed, machined, and assembled our motorcycles and if they were sustained by the passion for motorcycles and the beauty of what they were building, hence, able to carry on with repetitive production. I know it was a paycheck job but there must have been a devoted core of good builders at those factories. I always love seeing where you are at on your 101. Great progress on a milestone motorcycle.
