    I'll try to remember to look that up in my service manual and put whatever information they have about it on here. I think it's just a mention that it exists, though.

    I guess he got what he needed??????

    Definitely sounds like the bearing spacer could be too thin (making for too little clearance). Tapered roller bearings CAN run at zero clearance, but at reduced speeds. Axial clearance of 0.003-0.007" is more common for higher speed applications. They are pretty forgiving.

    There's a picture of that center section in a shop manual I have. They just referred to it as an "auxiliary" gauge panel in there. I'm sure Mack came up with some cute marketing name for it, though.

    Drove a Super 10/Top 2 one time. That's been a while. Thoughts and comments on it withheld!

    Has the accessory gauge cluster in the middle of the dash. Nice!

    Man, those bring back memories...

    I think the only way that thing would look better would be if it was sitting in my driveway.

    I'll bet you'll be very happy with the results. Keep us posted!

    I will try to find some instructions tonight in a couple of different books I have at home. If I can remember to look. I don't think there was any adjustment in the pressure plate. Seems like a cam plate and a threaded rod were the adjustment points. You wouldn't happen to know if this is a single or a double disc, would you? Double disc had shims under the pressure plate that had to be taken out to regain clearance as the plates wore. When a new set were put in, it was important to remember to put the shims back in.

    Volt meter on my R600 was grounded through the case (1-wire gauge). So, I had to get a different, 2-wire gauge so I could reverse the polarity at the gauge. It had insulaotr bushings to separate the metal case from the dash. My fuel gauge did not work. But, I don't know if that was related to the system being changed or not. I just checked it with a dipstick! Oil pressure gauge was a manual gauge (copper tube), so that was not an issue. Temp gauge worked, but I can't say what all had been changed there. Did I mention already how happy I am that you are here now?!

    Amen, Geoff.

    I don't remember the flasher caring about polarity. But, I have been wrong at least twice today already.

    Yours too?! Thought it was just the one on Marion! LOL!

    The PS box in my R had a axial valve setup instead of a radial valve. When turning the wheel with the engine off, you could see the shaft move up and down in the box. Hardly noticeable when the engine was running, though. Oil was engine oil. Can't remember whose box that was.

    Damn that’s awesome!!!!!!

    I wondered if it was an old dash. I much prefer them to the plastic dash of the later models. You lucky dog!
  22. doubleclutchinweasel
    What year model is this thing?
  23. doubleclutchinweasel
    Geoff, did I mention how glad I am that you’re here?
  24. doubleclutchinweasel
    Sounds like you're just a smooooothe operator!

    Looks to me like it fit perfect. I just don't see the problem. Any more empty space would just be a waste. Might have even been room on there for a beer can.
