Heavy Duty Clutch

AlexO · Jan 8th, 2018, 09:18

Chaps,

Whilst I'm still hunting down mystery banging in the front suspension I'm casting my mind forward to the sunny uplands of M47 conversions.

I've got everything I need for the conversion sat in the shed and a brother with all the know-how sat in Devon but I'm still a bit iffy on the clutch plate. I bought a genuine LUK RepSet clutch off ebay which, whilst looking very servicable, doesnt look as heavy duty as the one which came out of the M47 donor car. Does anyone have a good source for heavy duty clutches to suit a B230F/M47 combo? I'm not looking for anything "high torque" since my B230F is totally stock however I'm going to spend a lot of time towing boats through Cornwall and Wales this year so something with a bit of meat on would be preferred if I'm not going to burn it out by September.

Thanks

Alex

I have a fair few options on heavy duty clutches. As you are towing you dont want something too heavy either.
