Have you tried This type of glue

I would favour a slow cure epoxy, like traditional Araldite, not one of the 1 hour type. The leather would need to be sanded down on the glue side to attempt to remove any traces of dressing from the belt. Using leather from a belt that has been holding trousers up is risky, as they are dyed and treated with no regard to using them with glue in a future life. The metal would ideally be shot blasted with alumina to key it, but coarse abrasive papers will have to do for most people. Degreasing the metal before gluing is vital for adhesion. If the thickness was fairly even, then pieces glued on radially with gaps between them might not need any machining, just let them bed in with use.

When my friend and I made clutches for our Myfords lathes we used Evo stick impact adhesive with the smooth side of the leather to the aluminium. We didn't do any skimming left things as they were. Both of us found the clutch incline to slip, so I bought a block of Violin string resin, crushed it up a bit, then with the lathe running and the clutch partly open, I dribble some of the dust into the clutch/place. It's only needed one further application of resin after all the 29 years, can't believe it. Many thank Alan Burttolph you did a good job..

Don't seem to get such articles in MEW any more. I've re read my early collection from number one, it would appear that some of us just buy what ever we desire from PRC via ???. John

Hi Peter,

My S7 has cast iron outer pulley with bronze inner cone. Had since it 1968 and no problems, just give it a smidge of oil from time to time. Since fitting an vf inverter recently, I rarely use the clutch.

Best regards.
