Clutch diameters
Hi, I'm currently trying to fit a type 9 to a VW TDI engine to go in a Mk1 Transit.
I was wondering if anyone on here knew of any engines which have a clutch disc as close to 227mm as possible to go on a ford 1"x 23 spline
shaft?
I've never mixed and matched bits like this before but if I end up with slightly less surface area between vw cover and ford plate, I guess it
means it just wont take quite so much torque?
Thanks,
Andrew

If you go onto http://www9.qha.com/uk/technical/qhcatalogues.htm
You can compare all the clutch friction plates availiable.
I had to use a 215mm friction plate (sierra) when I was looking for a 228mm to suit an Alfa pressure plate. With a light weight car its been no
problem. Dont be tempted to go even a couple of mm bigger . I bought a 230mm and it was too big.

Mondeo Mk1 1.6 and 1.8 petrol have 220mm plates with the same spline - QH part C1189AF
Maybe an option?

I bought a 228mm 1"x23 friction plate from National Clutches for £20. I think it's from a Focus diesel?

but to be honest, I just phoned them up and told them what I wanted. They sent the plate to my closest dealer and I went along and bought it!

Just be carful of the more modern clutches, often the spring face of the friction plate protrudes too far and may not clear. I could not use the Modeo
plate for that reason
Some are designed for pull clutch operation and not push

I think the problem with the gubbins protruding too far isn't model dependant but more the manufacturer of the clutch plate. When I spoke to the
tech guy at National and told him what I wanted, he actually asked if there would be issues with the 'torque cage' or springs catching on
the flywheel bolts or the clutch cover. I had the measurements to hand and he found me a remanufactured clutch to suit.

National were really helpful, I'm having one specially made up to fit, as none had the right thickness off the shelf.
Thanks for the recomendation!

I love this website...................nowhere else would you:
a) see that question asked
b) see it answered sensibly without so much as a bat of an eyelid
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
