NOT showing shinny polished rivets. 
But if you have gone to the trouble of the clutch being exposed /out, to check it, then is it not REALLY worth not putting a New cover and plate in
for the cost involved. I think the last one I bought was only about £40 for an LUK unit from a motor factors. I only changed it then because I was
getting clutch slip and I had the engine out to check what the problem was. Turned out it was not the clutch but, I found I had too many spacers
behind the hydraulic slave, and , the pedal was not returning fully either. Fixed both of these and put a new clutch in, its been as right as rain
since. The plate I took out/replaced was probable not even 50% worn, but while it was out, in went new anyway just to save trouble further down the
road.

Hello,
the clutch i have comes from my donor car. ( i am building a Cat E1)
it looks good, but i would like to check before re attaching the gearbox to the engine.
