Hi All, April 2012 with the French Flathead in place it was time to drill the bell housing. This is a job that must be done as it helps to stop clutch judder when releasing the clutch. The French Flathead version that I have did not have these drillings but the casting bosses were there. A hole was drilled through the casting as a guild for the cutter . A homemade counter bore cutter was then made from some silver steel bar. Teeth were then cut onto the end and hardend. The cutter was then place in a cordless drill to drill the counter bore.
