I bought a tapping head from ebay last week and it has arrived but is non-functional - it has a bit missing (the cam to drive the tap when tapping), feels like it was lubricated with something with a viscosity about that of cold honey and I think the clutch nut is a ring-in as the 1MT shaft that protrudes does not have enough length to engage in a 1MT socket.

It is a nice English made unit though, so I would like to repair it. Does anyone have one of these and can post some pictures? I have a fair idea what the cam should look like so no disassembly needed, but the clutch nut is a concern, as is the whole clutch (the clutch material looks remarkably new, so could be a replacement...)
