And this clutch plate belongs to.......................?

Hello again. This is one of the clutch plates off the Beast bought from Joe Francis Motorcycles New Eltham a long time ago. It is one of four bought under the time honoured method of "Got any of these? ..................... I'll have four". This works great for me but is causing me a headache. I spent lots of my hard earned money with the spares scheme today and took the opportunity to purchase some new plates. Mine have ears of about a quarter inch but the spares ones are half an inch! Both types are double sided. Hussah!

Methinks mine are pre-war Burman ones, which I don't think the spares scheme stocks. If they are the right diameter I could grind them down to suit.

If anyone can shed some light I would be most grateful.

Cheers, Chris

From memory, looks a bit like in my pre war HP box I have been using for the last 30 odd years
