I called HoffcoComet in Richmond, Ind. and although they might have them on their website, they indicated that they haven't carried these 3 1/2 inch 5/8's shaft clutches in over 10 years......
I am still in need of one of these smaller diameter clutches to fit a Clinton A-400 if anyone has one to sell or Trade.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
Is this the engine, clutch and pipe you intend to use? All of this fit up just fine. I believe the pipe itself becomes the chain guard unfortunately. Dean has one of these I loaned him at his place. It is a Mercury minibike clutch, but is strong enough for an A400, you see it here on an NOS A500 painted to resemble an A400. Both clutches are NOS I bought when there was a glut of them.If you mount it inboard you get a little more clearance, also lift the pipe up as you tighten the allen screws holding it on helps too Mark

I should have drums but no guts for them. They will probably be 11,12,13,14 tooth.
