Roll Pins:  I don't know if it is kosher but - mine were all missing when I
went to reinstall last summer.   The machine shop swore they didn't have
them and I know I never saw them.   As I didn't know what they were when I
took the clutch apart I would not have known they were missing.  It was
clear I needed them (something) for alignment purposes when I was putting
is back together.  Weeks of getting to this point and no pins.  No wonder
the pilot bearing was so screwed up.  Someone had butchered this before.

I finally found an assortment set at HF.  They were not metric, but one of
the sizes was just a tad lose fitting.  I split it open with the tap of
screwdriver- just a bit -and then they fit nice and snug when tapped into
their holes.  Since they are mainly for alignment I fugured it would be ok.


5,000 miles later not a problem with the clutch.  Strong and smooth as an
ox.  Bleeding the system.... that was another story.

Good luck.
