Shaft too short for clutch, just!

[testrun00]

Hi guys,
Managed another Bargain on Ebay 1 and a half engine 1 complete Briggs Vanguard 21hp and the majority of another.

I've done a search and can find no clear answer

I give the output shaft a quick clean and put the comet 94c clutch on, to find it's fouls against the engine casing.

I thought about inserting some washers into the clutch shaft housing that fit snug over the bolt

What is your advice to solve the problem??

Thanks in advance,
Charlie.

Put some pics up in the my gallery of the engine and spares.

Washers are cool to use. I used 3 on my 18 conversion in fact. Recreatives sells them as spacers, but i got a few from a farware store and just filled inside a little for the keyway to fit.

Many thanks,
happy with that.
