      Mine is a 2005. It is not at my house and I won’t be able to check it out for a while but that is very helpful. Thanks for the quick response. I hope mine is in the same place.

        Well, I got the two new friction discs from Burley in Tacoma (fast – 1 day to get) and installed them, made adjustments best I could to try to match up right and left and now it holds well on a steep hill.  I still have to stand on the brake and clutch, but I imagine that's probably pretty normal as I only weigh about 160.  So another task is now checked off my to do list.  Now I'm studying how to fix my leaky hydraulic fittings by my FEL control but if I have any questions that will be a seperate post.

          Thanks guys for the info.  I live in Sequim, WA so there probably isn't anyone real close……..probably will buy new ones.  First I think I'll remount the tire/wheel and remove the other side to inspect that one.  This explains why I had to stand on the brake to slow her down on hills!

            Well, I kept going deeper and finally got the pressure plate assembly out as one unit.  The inside disk had all the rivets broken too.  Is there a bolt set with thin heads that will replace these rivets so I don't have to buy new discs?  I haven't priced them out so I don't know what I'm looking at for $$$. hmmm
