For interest only, well actually not interesting!!

Post by les »

A few pictures of 2 different Minor clutches----

Pictures on the left are from vehicle and had 14 years use. (diaphragm type)
Pictures on right apparently 2000 miles use. (spring type)
I'm swapping over to the spring type but using the plate from the other as although been used for years, seems at least as thick as the 2000 mile one, and more surface area.

The one on the left is for a 948cc engine and box, the one on the right for a 1098cc. Quality of replacement parts can vary according to manufacturer :o

Both look same size to me - both for 1098, I would stick with the diaphragm.....

Yes both are 1098, the Diaphragm one is being replaced as, for me, the spring type feel smoother, however if anyone is interested in the diaphragm plus the newer plate, then it will shortly be available! :D

I noticed that 2 of my pictures have been removed, so looks like it wasn't interesting after all!

Who wants a Minor "Date by Body Code" list?

Makes Clutch plates and thrust bearings a thoroughly absorbing subject!!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

I'll see if I can find some more clutch stuff, before we all nod off.
