quote Buccaneer:
If you’re listening Mumbles, how to you re-attach this
plate to the flywheel after replacing the spring?
It appears to be held on with three rivets, from the
top of the flywheel, but they don’t go thru the
bakelite plate.

I drilled just enough of the rivet so the plate would come off the flywheel. A few well placed dollops of epoxy were applied to both surfaces before reassembling it with the new spring in place. Getting everything lined up was tricky so I used a thin piece of wire stuck into one of the rivets to help as a guide. When everything was in place and checked out OK with the ohm meter, I stacked some weights on it while the epoxy cured.
The Johnson brothers probably wouldn’t approve of this fix but it seems to be working so far.
