Re: Clutch replacements

This is unfortunate. I need to replace some clutches anyway, and given the advances with these constrictor clutches, I was hoping to use them as replacements.

Ritchie Compass Model?

Does anyone know the model of the factory Ritchie compass?

The screws that hold in the lighted cover have both fallen out of mine. I want to lookup the specs to replace them.

By any chance does anyone have a close-up picture of the screw?

Thanks.

Re: Projects for Spring 2014

Wow, Bill, that is the best project list/spreadsheet I have seen on this topic. Thanks for the inspiration--I have modeled a similar version myself in Google Docs to track mine. A few questions? 1.
