Hi BB, yes mate, those rails have really suffered from fatigue...but your repair idea should do the trick without cosmetically altering the outwards appearance of your machine. Over engineering in this case would be a good thing. A new inner clutch with the opposing grub screws, a new thrust bearing....plus maybe a new cork clutch lining (if necessary) will see you up and running again sweetly. wink
