Hi everyone, this is my first post here.
I volunteer at a Heritage Railway (Keighley & Worth Valley Railway) in the Loco Dept, repairing and restoring the locomotives, some of which date back to the 1880s.
One of our lathes, a DSG type 13 built at the end of WW2 has developed a clutch fault as some of the clutch plates have fallen apart. It has a dry multi-plate clutch made by a local company, now out of business. It's a "Crofts Patent BOM-L self adjusting disc clutch size 2.
I have attached some pictures and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions where we might source replacement parts, otherwise we may have to scrap this machine, which seems a great waste.
Also suggestions on where to source some friction material thickness around 1/8" or nowadays 3mm, we could try to manufacture some.
Thanks,
Graham
