Hi Jim,

Perhaps the word "FIXED" that I used was confusing. When the bms is mounted in the clutch, it is mounted such that it can not expand length-wise. However when heated, both ends slide slightly in, permitting it to bend.

The 1/8" wiggle that you are referring to is there only after the bms has been heated-up and bend. There is no wiggle when the bms is at room temperature. At leas not on my sample.

In response to what happened to Stu Ritters Fans, I speculated on that in Post No: 64.

Phil
