Clutch Alignment

[brainbug007]

Well my local autofactors will do me a new clutch kit for 65 quid which didn't seem too bad compared to 70-90 quid from ebay. Only part I'm struggling to find is the pressure plate bolts. The autofactor doesn't stock them and suggested contacting a local ford dealer. The ford dealer didn't know what I was talking about

If the clutch is not a brand name its probably made by cadburys in some far off land. Worth thinking about when you look at the grief it is to change at a later date. As for the bolts they are nothing special so get them from a bolt supplier, The tensile rating is normally on the head of the bolt eg. 8.8 .

My next door neighbour went to the local scrappy, found a buggered gear box.
He then cut the input shaft off, hey presto clutch alignment tool.

If you should go back to the Ford dealer tell them that you need the Clutch Cover Bolts

I don't know what grade of bolt they are but I have a stack of M8 X 15mm set bolts here ( 8.8 Grade )
Wouldnt be any problem to stick 6 of those in the post for you

Thanks for all the help with this one guys. I got the new clutch kit home today and fitted it properly this time by making sure things like the friction disk was the right way round! I managed to salvage 4 out of the 6 bolts then took some other bolts I had from the donor and just shortened them a bit with the grinder which seems to have worked fine.
