Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reply. I paid via a Debit Cars, basically the same as a Credit Card, but my own money. I've put it with the bank to sort it out, but I lose AUD22.00 international transaction fee.
Regards,
Bill

Re: Roller release/throwout bearing
Hello Jerome, The max lateral movement from when the Throw Out Bearing contacts the clutch plate is circa 0.799mm, but the full affect depends on how concentric with the centre line it starts at when first contact is made. I think using an annular roller throw out bearing module would be the way to ...

Notwithstanding that the oil pressure generated is quite low, its oil pressure, nonetheless. The fibre washer that locates in that hole resists the oil pr...

Where abouts in Australia are you? Which Bell Housing was used?

It was the third time the gear...

It should be a circa 10mm wide strip of metal folded over on to the remainder of the scoop to form an edge that is two thickness of the sheetmetal. Probably not, but it looks a lot like wired edge or rolled edge...
