Friction plate and Diaphragm are UK specification Ford Sierra. The release bearing is a custom made item - made to mate with the Sierra diaphragm and Minor release arm.

All parts are available from most UK Minor suppliers, such as the Morris Minor centre in Birmingham (same place as for the clutch conversion parts).

But obviously, you also have to have a Ford 4 / 5 speed gearbox for the Sierra clutch to mate to (the splines are different on the Morris gearbox).

If you have a standard Minor engine and gearbox, then keep the carbon type bearing. I think that diaphragm type clutches are available for the standard setup but I have never used one.
