I have been looking at changing my (unintentionally) oil bathed clutch friction plate for a nice new clean one but can't work out what to order. My existing clutch plate seems to be 215mm diameter the flywheel recess seems to be about 2mm larger. I can only find a 200mm clutch or 228 and neither of them seem right. Am I missing something?
Forgot to say my engine was replaced with a gold AD motor at sometime and so I would expect it to be 200mm any help would be much appreciated.
I have found a complete kit for a T25 but only really want the friction plate. A bit more google should get it. Cheers
JK used to do 215s. They do exist, for AS engines (which were used on late busses and later Beetles, I believe).
Plus something you really need with the possible off-roading aspect of Nomad!! My first bus was a 77... that had a hardcore clutch judder when I bought it, took the engine out and the cush springs in the friction disc were all smashed!! Measured it - 200mm - went to GSF, said I needed a clutch for a 77 1600, guy was like that's a 215mm you'll be needing... So I had to go home and double check!! Turns out someone had fitted a 200 friction disc to a 215 flywheel and pressure plate
Cheers paul I had to drop the front mount of the box to read the number What if a different bellhousing has been fitted to that box or the nosecone has been changed?
