The clutch has already proven itself with Hendersons and Indian Fours, and is now being adapted for the Indian twins. A prototype will be ready any day and Rob informs the VI that the main comment on the clutch in its Henderson versions is: "It works like a dream!".  

More info here next month, or pester Duff or Rob  for it if you just can't wait.  
   
New oil pump covers for '48-up aluminum pump.  
The 648 Daytona (Big Base) Scout used the same aluminum pump as the 1948-53 Chiefs, and this makes it interesting in connection with Lyle's Warpath engine cases. These pumps consist of an internal body with 2 sets of pump gears + an outer cover, also holding the distributor etc.   
   
Fritz in Arizona has prototypes for the internal pump body, and only needs sufficient demand to start production. Fritz also has new sets of gears for these pumps. With outer bodies, it looks like we could have complete pumps, which must be just what Frank Wall (brother of Jim) thought, as he started making patterns for these! Stay tuned for more info on this next month.  
   
Oil filter adapter for Chiefs.  
Fritz also makes some other neat parts, beside the oil pumps. One of them is the neat oil filter adapter for Chiefs in the pictures to the right of here. They may not be for totally original bikes, but if you have a "rider bike" or a bobber, spin-on filter adapters don't come neater than this! Again just in prototype, but if you tell Fritz you want one, he may start making them in quantity.  
   
Fritz's parts are on this page. If you like what you see, please tell him! All the folks out there making parts for us really need to be told what we want.
