I suspect OD Spares had done it when they rebuilt the servo back in +/- ’04. They seemed very knowledgeable about the stuff, saying it “takes 24 hours to go off”. Plastic Metal goes off as soon as you turn your back on it. Anyhow, they put in a brand new front casing and a new clutch. Tested, the OD ran at 500psi++.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>While they were doing that, 08:30 to 12:30, I was able to go to AH Spares and get a clutch kit and various other bits.

So, the clutch will be the next discussion…..<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Simon<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
