My Bristol clutch is slipping and to my knowledge has never been replaced in our family ownership (47 years!).
Having done a search I have found I need these parts;
MG Heavy duty 8.5" diaphragm
AP racing Clutch plate CP5352/1 ,
Borg & Beck Carbon Thrust release part # 3301
1) My budget may not run to the AP racing plate I may have to use a standard MG item - comments?
2) I'm also tempted to use the MG roller bearing because it comes inexpensively as part of the heavy duty clutch kit - thoughts?
3) I've learnt from one of Keith's posts that the AC clutch slave needs to be shimmed, I assume this means an lengthening of the push road to adapt for a slightly different diaphragm depth - Keith/gents - can some one give me an idea of how much shimming is required, in the order of 100 thou or half inch or what?
4) Do I need to machine a new set of dowel and bolt holes, or will the MG fit the Bristol pattern.
Thank you!
