Broken Clutch Basket

[abacb_07]

Hello,

I have a 1972 Honda CL350 that I am working on.

My problem is when I was assembly the components in the right crankcase cover, I managed to break one of the teeth off the clutch basket. When I say teeth I am referring to the tabs on the outer edge of the basket.

My question is, would this be acceptable to run until I can obtain another basket? It seems that these are used to keep the discs from rotating? If so would the remainder of the tabs be sufficient in the interim?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

i don't think it would be a good idea to run as is , if it fails while running it will not be pretty
fix it now while it is still apart
if you need one i have a good one i can sell you cheap

Be out of balance too....Replace the basket....

Edit: How did you manage to break a tab off the basket? That is a very difficult maneuver....
