G50 Clutch fork Upgrade
My 1987 G50 clutch is nearing the point of needing replacement. I have read I will need an upgraded clutch fork and 32 mm sleeve to complete the clutch job properly. Has anyone documented the necessary procedure to change to the 32 mm sleeve? I have searched both Rennlist and Pelican and can't find anything on the subject.
Thanks for any help in advance, George |

check the weltmeister clutch upgrade. No boring needed - replace with simple tools. Oilite bearings.
Like this - http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/911M/POR_911M_Tclutc_pg6.htm#item21 The weltmeister kit lets you use their existing fork

G50 Clutch Fork
Is this the $161 upgrade? Am I correct in reading you use the existing clutch fork with this upgrade versus a new fork and bushing kit? Has anyone done either of these upgrades and if so, any problems?
As always, thanks for your help in advance! George |

32mm? Are you talking about the Guide tube?
If yes, it's and easy swap. If I remember, it was held in place with 2 screws. Just R&R.

The guide tube screws are notorious for stripping the philips head. Be sure to use the LARGEST screwdriver bit size to fit the screw head. And I recommend using a screwdriver bit with a ratchet to remove the screws. Lets you get more leverage and avoids the wobble and heavy pushing that's typically done when using a screwdriver.
Upon reinstallation of the guide tube, don't gorilla-tighten the screws. Snug is plenty tight.
