anyways. I put it to gether.

I tried shimming it I have tried shimming it like how the book says

I have 2 full packs of mugen shims does to really matter where i put them the result is the same a lock clutch bell on the disk and i am not really even tighting it down.

in the past the ONLY way i have been able to make this work is to sand by hand the back side of the taper cone that the fly wheel goes on.

I am tired of sanding so it stops with this assembly.

what am I doing wrong, do I have the wrong cone, because i have tried more then one and cant seem to get it, am i shimming it wrong, I have tried shimming it inside the bell near the spring, I have tried shimming it near the in the location the direction call out by the trust bearing that makes it worse.

my clutch i ran at the winter nats, i sanded the cone by hand i have shims located inside the bell near the spring it works but i would like to improve and no longer have to sand

please help

thanks
