lt1bird Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 ok, i need to vent....this was supose to be a bolt on, no modifications. The instructions with the lockup say to grind the numbs on the inside of the cover, plus drill a 3.5" dia hole in the cover so the lockup will clear. If I grind just the nubs off inside(the three plastic side cover mount boss) will it clear or will I most deflinatly need to cut the hole or grind off the webing of the inside cover. What seal will I use to block the massive f-in hole? Also, how many ball bearings should I use? All of them? its a 485 pump motor with one step heavy clutch springs. Thanks for some info....

Thanks for some info.... cut the hole to be on the safe side.if know anybody with a plasma cutter,it works great.just shoot a bead of silicone around the rubber seal when you bolt the plastic cover back on.make sure you locktite the 6 bolts that go in the springs.if not they will back out.also just use one row of balls.i've ran one of these and they work just fine.for the money i think they are worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt1bird Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 You mean use one ball bearing in each row? yup, looks like a big hole will be needed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00tbanshee Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 You mean use one ball bearing in each row? yup, looks like a big hole will be needed... yes just use one row around the clutch the other you won't need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheefreak Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Data I have seen shows that the Gigot lockup has about the same holding power w/one row of balls as a direct drive style lockup. As mentioned, one row should do you fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just ran one ball per row also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan up Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I just ground down the waffle area flush.. I didn't see the need for the big hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolguyson Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 You shouldn't need to drill a hole. Just grind the 3 nubs down. You can also call Kevin and GP and he would be more than happy to walk you through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt1bird Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I ground the numbs and the waffle definatly needed to be ground off otherwise it was just brarley touching. With a gasket it probably would clear. I drilled a 2 inch hole in the center so I can still adjust the clutch easy.... The big flat gasket in the center of the cover will seal that hole plus the outer gasket as a backup. Seems to all fit fine Thanks for the help!
