Thanks Bob

I learned to double clutch years ago and it’s always stuck with me. I doubt the boot will make a difference. Lol

Yes I just picked it up yesterday. This was my first piece I made on it and it went very well. I had to turn the motor speed down as how the factory set it up I was going to loose some fingers. This is a true industrial production machine made for heavy duty canvas and such.

In my spare moments I had today, I made up some stencils to match the original markings that I found on the NOS canvas. I also used the part number as found in the parts manual.

I’m quite happy how this little detail came out and looks.
