Hello.. As most are aware, the clutch fork pin is notorious for
breaking. At least one restoration guide recommends cross-bolting or cross-pinning to provide additional insurance against pin-breakage/fork-shaft wobble/clutch problems.
A few questions..
Does the current generation of "high strength" pins eliminate the need for a cross-bolt or pin?
If bolting/pinning is recommended, what size bolt or pin is used ? I have seen 1/4" grade 8 bolts mentioned.
Are two bolts/pins nearer the ends of the fork better than one bolt or pin in the center of the fork ?
Thanks..
