Hi all, 1. Does anyone know if and where can I purchase only a clutch disc for above? No need for the kit as everything else is in good Nick. Only disc required 2. Can anyone tell me what does a correct clutch bearing looks like for VB 253? The one I took off is actually the same as VN one, it's longer, according to some comments on forums ,I've heard that , that is the correct one for the car but most places like eBay in the kit sell the ones that are shorter in length, it's doing my head in.. any expert's? Thanks

Thanks boys, these are the photos of the clutch bearings, the first one is the bearing that always comes up on eBay whenever they sell it as a kit, pic number 2 is one is the one I took off my car, can anyone shed some light on this?

I see that's the metal one, it's middle in size compared to other 2, these are the clutch forks I have, I am hoping it ll fit that bearing, the clutch fork in your pic looks a bit different

Hi all, Had a good chat with Mike and he told me it all depends what clutch fork was used that determines the bearing, the good news is that clutch plate I intended to use and flywheel was not ok, it was off the Vr v8... Anyway I ll get the complete correct clutch kit from them and maybe a new flywheel,I am trying to source a used one bit they are hard to find.
