Many thanks,

Hi Ant, you are referring to the ENV gearbox and the MG plate about 3" inch square yes? If so it is cast ali.
I don't have a spare Ant but I have seen them around somewhere!?

Chris, the cover plate bolts to the flywheel ie is the clutch cover plate. Was the F type not cast in aluminium though Ant? Incidentally Chris, I make the inspection plates in both MMM sizes

Hello Chris/Rich,
Rich is right, I am referring to the plate that covers the clutch and bolts to the flywheel. Perhaps I should have said it is cast rather than steel. I can't say if some were aluminium. I believe mine to be original, the problem being that sometime in the past a clutch finger has come adrift, breaking one of the lugs and cracking the ENV bell housing. The lug has been welded back in the 50's I think and was clearly being used before being taken off the road in the early 60' but I don't think it's worth trusting given the damage a stray clutch finger can cause.
So, I am on the hunt for a replacement unless anyone can advise me that a welded lug is safe. I should note that I assume it is actually the finger retaining spring that comes loose causing the finger to fly out rather than a lug failing. If so, is a good welded repair acceptable?
Ant. |
