Fix For Early Coil Spring Clutches.

If you click on the image opposite you will find a really good solution to a slipping early coil sprung clutch. The pre 1964 cars were fitted with these clutches. They wern't very good when new and as they are used they get weaker and weaker. Replacement springs have not been available for years.
