HELP: Schmidt Brothers Clutch install question

[ray628]

Im working on the clutch kit right now and Schmidt brothers is not open or not answering the phone. Of course the sled is in a million pieces so I hope someone can help that has put on of these on.

My main question is to do with the fly weights. The directions say to drill the 3 rivets out to replace with his threaded rivets. There are 3 rivets in each fly weight and 3 flyweights. Do I drill all 3 rivets out of all 3 fly weights? 1 looks easy and the other 2 are more sturdy rivets in each fly weight. please help.

How many replacement rivets did they send you?

did you get stage 1 or what one did you get .... If it is stage 1 then you dont drill them all out just the one on the tip and replace that one ... not inless he sent you more rivits ....need to now what kit you got first

I got stage 2. he only sent me one threaded weight and said to install in the last hole. The directions says to remove flyweights and drill out all 3. There is where the confusion comes in. There are 3 weights and 3 rivets!! He only gave me 3 weights to put in the tips. I just drilled out 3 on one fly weight already!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Your choice, buck up for more rivets from schmidt or get stock replacements for the error and carry on with tips only. I know it sucks!

We the instructions said to take out all 3 rivets. This is bs. I need to call them monday. The first rivet was easy and then the others were difficult. i got one with all 3 rivets out, one partially drilled out because they are a bitch and one with just the first one out. I even cut my hand open while trying to pry the little f'er's out!

Yes I will, I was just hoping to get it done, that is why I posted on this site. Thans for your help guys.

Not to be a smart arse, but I think Chris only charges $25 to do the install at his shop. Worth the hassle?

I live in chicago and its said to be easy. Not difficult except for drilling out a few of the weights and directions are a little fuzzy.
