• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Rivets on clutch basket

I ordered a new clutch basket since my fingers were worn. And I ordered new rivets as well. They look like the top of a nail. Just without the point. Is there a way to set these or a tool? Maybe some videos or pictures if anyone can help me. Thank you
 
I just looked at that. Thanks! But confused about setting the rivet.. It's heated and installed so the flat end is on the back of the basket were the gear is... Then is that side set on a anvil and then you hammer the end that is inside where the clutch plates would sit??

I found a steel sleeve the diameter of the rivet circle and flattened the gear side with a punch with the sleeve supporting the heads on the inside. If you have a helper he can support them with a punch that is stood on end on an anvil or similar, while holding the basket..
The rivets for the 125 are small and not hard so can be set cold. Go around the rivets much like you would torque a circle of bolts, flaring them a little at a time to keep things lined up.

I looked at the rivets and they aren't hollow.. So I put the flat end of the rivet on the gear end? And hammer the other end thats in the basket And it will peen the end?
