fiat clutch question...

Post by **callyspoy** » Sun May 25, 2008 6:50 pm

dad question here...
he bought a fiat gearbox, converted to minor bellhousing(im sure you all saw it on ebay!) problem is, he doesnt know what clutch will work as the 1st motion spigot shaft has 21 splines and he cant find one that is the same...any one know much about the fiat 'box's? it is presumed to be mirafiori...
cheers
*Callum* and dad!

this QH website is good http://www9.qha.com/uk/technical/qhcatalogues.htm
click on "Q PID online" gives part no's & cross refrences them plus dimensions etc. I found it useful when converting to a ford clutch

You can use Ford clutch plates on the Fiat. The splines are the same as some Fords.

My Minor uses a Ford cover and plate (though I did need to put new dowels and tapped holes to bolt on the clutch cover)

Sorry but I cant remember the exact spline dims (21 on 25mm ???)
