l am putting on a new Sparx rotor on my '67 T100 . Do l need to do anything to prepare the rotor or the spindle. do l need any kind of loctite or does it need to be reamed. Is it just a straight slip on with woodruf key and nut tightened down. Also it says you should have .20 clearance but at present its only .15 , is it critical. l thank you for any advise.

Take some emory cloth and thoroughly clean the insde diameter of your stator.

Fit straight up with loctite and torque properly.

Thanks for the advise. Do l need to worry about the clearance being .20 or is clearance critical?.

 

[GrandPaulZ]

With a good cleaning, I'll bet you've got .020".

GrandPaulZ , right again, everything fitted ok, and l have the .20 gap around the rotor. Mind you the old rotor put up a good fight before it came off!. l borrowed a puller from a club member ( Mighty South London tomcc, founder branch, 60 years old this year l believe), and if did the job. It goes to show that it pays to be a club member and support this forum, carry on the good work Sir!!.

Oh!, l forgot the important part, the Sparx 210 watt stator and rotor kit can be recommended. l now get a charge at 3000 rpm with mainbeam on (halogen) , indicators on ( vital in London) and brake light on, good stuff!.

Yep, I sell Sparx, and USE them too.
