Clutch fitment

Post by bjbrownie »

Will the clutch from a 1956-1961 car fit a 1968 model?

I think it will be too small.

It will - if you use the flywheel from the early engine too..... But the later cars have a bigger clutch for good reason (the fearsome power of the mighty 1098 engine :roll: ) - best stick with the right parts.
