Heavy Duty Clutch basket springs

[gs11ezrydr]

I took apart a 1985 GS1150 to reshim the clutch basket. It has a solid backing plate, welded rivets, and the HD green springs. The problem is the one of the six springs is starting to come through the inside of the basket. Towards the inner hub. Instead of like usual start to push out the back. I replaced the large thrust washer because it was worn at the edges. I have the smallest shim available in it now my clearances are within specs but still creeps some. Not as bad but still does . Should we get another clutch basket since its starting to fail. I could just start to see the green spring windings coming through so I took a punch and knocked it back down. Which I know will not last . Thanks.

Does it say APE on the rivet heads?

Unfortunately, your basket is shot. I have cores & can build you a new one if you want.
