Best Way to Deal w/ Broken Spider???

[Uller]

Broke my spider (in the primary, 2006 M7) the last ride of the season and not sure of the best way (most economical too) of fixing it.

I know that I could just buy a new spider and throw it in (I have all tools for assembly/disassembly) however, I am concerned about the balance of the clutch. Will it be ok? Would I need to have it balanced? If so, anyone in the Seattle area know a shop that could do this for me?

Or do I keep searching for a partially used clutch (don't seem to be many of these currently available based on a search of all 10 pages in the swapmeet section.)

Any help appreciated!!!!

I would buy a new clutch maybe $350 try KSI enterprises and Freeagent on this forum.

Exactly ! new clutch

I think a new bare clutch is only 225.00 or so, call free agent, she will take care of you

I think you can still get a spider for m7, just install new spider.

As far as the balance, I have always just lined up the dots.

I'm seeing $460 & $600 for uncalibrated drive clutches in online parts fisches. Are Freeagent's prices that much better???

also try rvsports.com they sell new take off stuff

I second RVSports. They don't have all of their salvage parts listed on the website. Give them a call and ask for Troy. You can get new factory take-off clutches pretty cheap if they have some.

Get the billet spider from Supreme Tool, that's what I used on my 1160, plus the rollers are a better material.

Fett Brothers has a billet spider for 150.00

uses same wheels/rolles as your secondary.

Tried to look this from Fett Brothers web page - could not find. Do you have link for this?

just put in a new spider and make sure all the balance dots line up, why buy a new clutch unless yous is wore out.

 

[mclunas]

Supreme tool spider and cover.. This allows you to run a wider variety of springs.

I saw it in the printed catalog they sent with my Float air chambers. Give them a call.
