at every national meet you see someone doing a major repair.
2012 Marquette MI was my turn.
Clutch disc rivets sheared while on a side trip 50 miles from Marquette, AAA brought us back to the meet.
Alice & I had the engine out in about 2 hours.
Since it was a national, there was a vendor with the disc we needed.
Next morning we put it back together, some friends from FL and GA helped us line everything up to get the engine back in.
Off the road less than 24 hours.
Helps to have a wife willing to get her hands dirty......
