Tony, Helix will make a clutch to your spec.

^^^what Ian said!

I got my LT77 1" spline clutch plates from helix. They are VERY helpful and polite.

Mine cost about £130 for the pair. Bargain!

Tony,

Whilst searching for a clutch for my new engine I spotted that paul at V8 tuner has driven plates both metric and Imperial sizes at reasonable prices.

Be careful they are probably 10.5" clutch plates. Standard 2wd size is 9.5" meaning you need a new flywheel or alter the standard one. There has also always been a debate on whether 10.5 fits standard bellhousing so say yes some say no, probably depends on what flywheel you use.

regarding the 10.5 we maybe able to find out,

Rossco,
my bellhousing your bringing back down mate, you got a flywheel and 10.5 clutch cover there mate? and an engine you can try it on to see if it does fit inside a lt77 bellhousing. we will know for sure then,
i spose i would have to redrill my flywheel to suit the 10.5 clutch.

Not sure if the LT77 is larger that the T5 but a 10.5 will not fit the T5 as I tried recently.

With what bellhousing as it fits my T5 no problem?

My box came off a TVR complete with bellhousing.

looks like the clutch is on its way,
so in next few weeks going to pop the box out and see what damage is done, hoping just to change the AP plate, as im hoping thats worn only,

did we once have a link to a site that listed clutch shaft size and number of splines etc, and plate diameter?
im thinking about possibly getting the flywheel redrilled posibly for a more common uprated clutch, as AP only list a fast road clutch rated for the RV8 to 270lbft (CP-2000-13 what i have now)
i know i can get one made just food for thought at the moment,

This place used to have great listings on their old site...

I guess easiest re-drill, would be for the likes of a Sierra Cosworth clutch. Same spline, and would have decent torque ratings

http://www2.qha.com/catalogues/QH08.pdf don't know if it has enough information for you but it lists plate size and spline. Obviously a QH clutch is useless to you but it might help you cross ref candidates.

have a bit of a result,
have the part numbers for a rover fittiment clutch from AP racing rated to 400lbft,
is the same style of clutch as in mine now so is road friendly,
will be calling them in the morning,
will keep you all posted,

Marki, what 10.5 inch clutch did you get to fit in T5 bellhousing as I have not come across anything that will fit?
