With the engine central in the frame and the dula box trapped by the rear mounting plates (likewise centraly, in line astern) . The NEB clutch sprocket is inboard by 20mm (just over 3/4 inch). This is not exactly satisfactory. I fear the primary drive chain may complain about this situation and quite rigitly so. I suspect the standard norton clutch would not have this problem but i need the NEB because its the real deal for getting off the line.
Now if i space the rear right plate outwards the 20mm offset and the gearbox moves with it we will put the powertrain back on the rails.
Over to the steelrack to find some nice aluminium then a casual stroll to my mate Mr Myford. This is the sort of jobs lathes were invented for. 20 minutes to drill and part off all the spacers is what it takes. Lathes, every home should have one.
Spot on! its amazing what a few spacers will do.
