So I bought a cone clutch cork today, only $5.50. On comparing the new one to what is currently on the housing it doesn't seem overly worn. Anyway I may as well put a new one on just in case the condition of the exising one isn't right.

Notice in this last picture how the cone protrudes much the same as before I pulled it apart (see picture in post#1), guess that's just how it is. Maybe because it was a new cone 3 years ago and wasn't machined the same as the original housing.

The contact glue was touch dry within a couple of minutes, I suppose because it is really hot and humid here today. I found it quite difficult to insert the new cork exactly in place as it grabs really quickly and the cone shape made it awkward. I should have done a dry run first to find out the best way. Anyway it's in now and hopefully with the cone clamped in place it will take care of any slight misalignment.
