Since we are waiting for the custom ported cylinder to get back from Milennium Tech Jason went ahead and rebuilt the clutch basket with a new basket 8-)

It turned out sweet...

A tip from Alward25, dimple the bolts to help prevent them from backing out..

Ok... so Kevin purchased a VF2 reed from me so I told him I would do all the boot mods for free.

Here we go..

Stock boot..



Ears are removed and sanded flat..



Now whip out the VForce 3 reed and stuffer..... What???  :? :? :?



Yes... Put the VF3 in there with the stuffer..

Now put some silicone of some type on the stuffer only...



Now install the boot...



Let it dry over night



Reach in there and feel around with your finger... You will understand why I do this mod..

After the goop has set up, carefully remove the boot and take a look at what you have..
Note the difference in the boot hole VS the stuffer hole..



Clean away the excess goo without breaking the stuffer from the boot.. Then get a marker and mark the boot.



Now remove the stuffer from the boot and see what you have..

That yellow profile need to go away..
The first time I ever did one of these I used a small sanding drum on a Dremel.
My tools have improved somewhat since then...



It's still a little rough but you get the idea..



Now you can compare the VF3 stuffer and make sure that you didn't miss anything...
NEXT!!!!   :-D
