AP clutch Pinto release bearing

Hi Guys. First post.

Doing quite a bit on my Westfield /Pinto engine this winter I am changing the clutch for,an AP 184mm on a lightened steel fly wheel. the new distance from the std release bearing to the pressure plate is now too big to,operate the clutch. I know Burtons do an extended carrier and radiused bearing, seems a lot of money. Does anybody have any other suppliers / suggestions please.

Assuming you're already using the CCT132 bearing (stock Pinto), then the CCT133 (oddball Sierra/Capri one - used for Zetec conversions) is about 10mm longer. Would that do the job?





Long live RWD...

Many thanks for reply. Yes all stock bits at the moment. 10mm is not enough , its quite a bit hence the need for an extended carrier i think . Will measure up at lunch time.

Have measured up and its about 20 mm, it looks like a bearing carrier from Burtons and the longer bearing . Do you know if it has a rounded face ? Cheers.
