Hi Deejay and thanks for the advice.

I have removed the clutch and main shaft from the crank shaft. I did it slightly different; by removing the sprocket from the main shaft and sliding the whole assembly towards the engine. Same result - will this make re-assembly harder?

Looks like you were bang on with the parts required, will need only both clutch halves and the cork lining. Also will need the plastic thrust pad for the fork. You can see how the castings are cracked presumably from the bolts becoming loose.

I am a bit confused about the "captive cotter pin" to which you refer. The housing was attached to the crankshaft by two set screws???

I think I will remove the reel and bed knife and get them both sharpened as the previous owner, who has had it from new, said he has never shapened them.

PS: I found your recent videos describing this proceedure very informative. Presumably the process is very similar for the Rover 45?

Again, many thanks for the valuable advice.

Cheers Andy
