hi barra
the centre piece of this tool, the piece that goes onto the inner drum,did you fabricate this or did you happen to find something that already had the teeth cut and you adapted? If you did find a piece that already fitted what was it from?

cheers Andy

A good job by Jarrah!

Andy - I have some old metal and friction plates. Send me a PM if you would like a pair.

An alternative holder uses the centre basket bolts - see below:

Thanks Barra very informative but for me it would be difficult to fabricate as I have no access to welding kit.
Brian your alternative looks the business! That I could make with the my limited ability and workshop - read as back garden shed :)
would you happen to have any plans on pdf format stating dimensions that could be used to create that tool ?

Cheers Andy

 

Brian forget my previous request just seen that you sell them on ttr extras at a very resonable price!

Hey Andy,

               There is three TTR250 friction plates (clutch) that are welded with the flat steel between. I used my old clutch friction plates from my old OP.. Very easy..

 To be honest this wasn't needed as my other tool would do as Brian's does above but just makes things quick & easy i guess.

Thought i would add a decent pic of my other tool.. Clutch remover ect... Made from an old holden hq radiator fan.

Thought I had better update this thread. If anyone has some homemade tools that they would like to add, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, here is a couple of pictures of the valve compressor that I made from an old G-clamp, an old WR400 suspension linkage collar and a piece of wire-

I didn't bother welding it as I can still use the clamp this way for its intended purpose (usually lying around collecting dust lol). Works a treat!

Here's my most recent "Special" tool

An old floor jack with an extra high platform, I added the higher platform some time ago but recently added the 

stabilizing legs before I started the current repair/upgrade work

Now it's rock solid/stable and takes up very little space around the bike

 

And all painted up nice and pretty like

 

Very good Steve, all I need now is an old Jack... donations accepted!

Keep your eye's peeled at supercheap auto, do you have one in NQ ?

 

---

 Yeah, we have plenty but maybe not as cheap as down that way and it's a 45klms drive from here.  I will be keeping my eye out for a cheap one at Supercheap none the less.

I do have an old trolley jack lying around but I use it now and again.

 Aha, I have a feeling that Petenz's tools are not so ''homemade'' after all lol.

 yes Jarrah, that is fitted but didnt removed clutch basket yet. hope it doesnt going to damage somewhere 

---

 As long as it has no weld splatters in the teeth, it will not damage anything!

Jarrah 

Hope you know you are going to need a clutch remover/puller to remove the clutch boss. More info above-

Jarrah

 thanks to sharing.

thats also good job. but why you did for all the clutch fingers? there is alot of work on it. 

cesar

 Thanks Cesar

I was bored and I always over-do things. I guess you could call me a perfectionist! I also did not want to put all the pressure on one clutch finger as it may have broken it.

That is the only explanation(s) that is viable as even one of those locking tabs would have held it.

In hindsight I should have used a mig or tig welder as the stick welder was a little splattery (made up word) and hard to use in comparison.

Jarrah,
Nobody's saying it so I will--I'm impressed with the engine stand. Must have hurt to cut up a frame??? BTW, I use A/C stick welder too and know how hard the LITTLE stuff is to weld, so, Glad to hear the word "splattery" ...it has been added to my vocabulary
