clutch thickness
Bit of a long shot but does anybody know what the total thickness of a new clutch pack is for a 2003 620 non slipper type clutch?

Mine was originally 43.47mm when I first took it apart after Mallory a couple of years ago as it was slipping at this
I rebuilt it to a pack thickness of 44.5mm and this gave me and end gap of 2mm.
I'm still using that setup without any problems

Nope, friction plates were OK
A couple of the steels were very heavily discoulored so these two were thrown out and instead of replacing them with similar 1.5mm thick ones I added two 2mm thick ones to give me the extra millimeter

Just add another slipper plate Tom, thats what most of us do.

Just make sure you get slipper & friction plates in alternates and not together like I did, lol
