dtm Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hi Kevin, Is this kit for the C20XE flat flywheel or pot type flywheel? I think it does matter because i know that the pressure plates are different. If they are for the flat flywheel can i ask you how much in total delivered to Ireland south. you can pm me if you want. thanks dtm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 They are for the flat flywheel. That's the one you would want to use on a LET too of you wanted to swap over from the boat anchor on the LET I'll get a price to Ireland. Sent plenty but still can't remember the bloody price! I will need a xe pressure plate from you or a surcharge ( applied by my supplier not me) will add to the cost, sorry You may also have to wait longer if you can't supply an exchange unit.

robah Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Kev I have just noticed that I have ordered the wrong friction plate, mine has more splines than on the one I have. How much for a replacement friction plate. I will count them tomorrow. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Hi Rob Give me a bell mate The 16v friction plate that is fitted to the xe in fwd has many more splines than the one for the Manta Getrag box so they will look different. Above is the kit to suit the xe or let with flat flyweel Middle of friction plate is getrag spline, less than fwd f20 etc boxes Edited January 21, 2012 by Kevin Abbott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I wish to apologise to Kev, as I found out that I am a grade A plonker. After chatting with Kev and all the info he gave me, I found out that I have the right clutch friction plate and my input shaft was slightly burred. I feel like a Biff at the moment and thank Kev for his help in getting me to retry the clutch plate to see the problem. Thanks again Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Haha no prob Rob At least you can crack on with it now Yeh Kev I have enlisted some help next week to aid me in fitting the gearbox. Bought some new bolts for the cover plate from QED. On a slightly different note did you find any cables (clutch/speedo) for the standard box.

Kevin Abbott Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 PM sent. I have to add that I can't supply the kits unless you can send me your old unit. My supplier needs them in exchange Retropower do full kits on a non exchange basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Power Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Kev, does your man re-machine the pressure plate face? They tend to go conical (stick a straight edge across a used one then a brand new one) due to the spring pressure, and when they do and then get a new friction plate on them they don't grip across the full face width, and can be prone to slipping. Just one to watch, especially on old pressure plates that have done lots of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one to watch, especially on old pressure plates that have done lots of miles Yea they are completely stripped down to component parts, evaluated for wear and then the pressure plate is reground, springs set and the whole thing rebuilt. The friction plate gets the same treatment with new truck grade friction linings and heavy duty rivets. The release bearing is brand new as they are cheap enough to not bother messing with them.
