Now this is probably a silly question, but here goes anyway: my 1961 350 engine is in bits and I've just bought a new clutch for it. In the parts books our hosts have there are no rubber blocks in the clutch, but my clutch front plate shows signs that there were blocks behind it in years gone by. However, my workshop manual for a 1956 (not ideal I know) shows rubber block drive in the clutch but there are none shown in the online parts books here for that year either.

HELP!! Should my bike have rubber blocks, if so where can I find them on here? If so I am also missing the tripod rotor that goes between them. I'm confused!

I'm probably not the best one to ask but... if you bought a

Jaime, early 350 Bullets did not have a cush drive, nor did late (1958 to 61) Clippers. However many people fitted cush drives later. If your bike was a bitsa it may be a mix of parts, best thing is to contact our Hosts, they will sort it for you! REgards, Mark

The cush drive is in the rear hub/brake drum, if you have one in the clutch as well you may have an interesting time delay when you drop the clutch. It may make no difference at all or it may even be better, but as long as the cush drive in the hub is free and working I would fit the replacement as it is.
