Clutch release bearing

Somebody used to do a clutch release bearing based on a modern ball thrust bearing with lugs welded on. Does anybody know where I can get one now or do you have one I can buy?

Yes, I'm currently using one.
If this is what you mean:

Then the Morris Minor centre in Birmingham sells them. BUT you need to use it with a diaphragm clutch cover.

Thanks, Birmingham say they don't anymore but Frontline, a Midget company, do - so why don't they buy them and sell to us? Also ESM do. It is for a 1275 diaphragm clutched pick up but doesn't it work on the ordinary clutch? Did you have any issues fitting it or using it? I find the carbon wears because there is a light spring in the Midget cylinder that holds it on, rather than the Moggy spring pulling it off.

You can also give Bath a ring as they also do lots of extra bits

Yes, but mainly because of the pivot fitting on the Brum centre's Sierra 5-speed conversion bell-housing. My old unit kind of fell to bits after a few thousand miles as it wasn't centred ..........
If you are using Midget bits then it's a different kettle of fish really.
