Jonny-Jimbo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi All,A friend of mine (not on the forum) is after a 1300 fine spline clutch for his spitfire, but it's a single rail box. He says that it's the smaller diameter clutch, but the 20-spline fitting, rather than 10.He thinks it's from early 1300 Dolomites. Anyone have one they're willing to part with? Preferably Borg and Beck with cover, not just the pressure plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 all 1300 dolly... but not the earlier toledos (which used the coarse splines)When I needed one I found them on fleabay,Cover same as 1300 herald etc so easy to find, the plate less so.

Jonny-Jimbo Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Are you sure on that Nick?? He measured it and it is a 6.5" clutch with a 20 spline fitting. We did some googling and found that early 1300 Dolly's used them.We found a place that can refurb the clutches, but getting one ready done will speed up his build a bit!

Steve P Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This one any good?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIU.....4:g:bogAAOSwAHZUPPFEor this one looks to be 6.5 inch+20 spline:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triu.....8:g:WeYAAOSwsFpWTdizSteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ah ha! That's the ticket - didn't find any when we were looking the other day. Maybe we'd just searched incorrectly. It's the one for the 1300 only, not the 1500 (bigger clutch etc).Thanks chaps - supercharged Mk3 is back on the cards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not with that clutch I hope.....The modern B+B clutches are nothing like the proper ones. They are now made by Firstline.If putting a supercharger on, you will be wanting a decent big clutch. A 1500 flywheel/clutch would be a better start.

nicmk1est Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 i must be wrong,i thought 6.5" was only 10 spline,,,i stand corrected and ignore me all good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not my car or build Clive - I wouldn't run it through a standard clutch, but it's being built on the cheap. It was going to have a Rover V8 in it but he got bored of trying to make it fit so he chucked that all out and went back to the 1300.It's odd, he's spent years spotwelding new panels in etc and is basically just chucking the engine together! I think he's just got a bit bored of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 JonDoes he already have his supercharger setup??I know of a complete Eaton 45 kit to fit a 1300/1500 for sale.Brand new, and you would need to bargain hard to get the price down.CheersColin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Colin,I'm not sure, I'll ask him when I see him later.Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Nick, its because the 1300 Dolomite had the 1300 flywheel, but was fitted with the single rail gearbox which has 20 splines on the input shaft.Presumably BL had finished production in 1975/76 of the three rail gearbox.

Mark Hammond Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Quoted from cliftyhanger all 1300 dolly... but not the earlier toledos (which used the coarse splines)When I needed one I found them on fleabay,Cover same as 1300 herald etc so easy to find, the plate less so. Late Toledo has fine spline/single rail 'box, unless I just dreamt it.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi Colin,My buddy has already got a charger, strapped it onto a standard intake manifold and running it through a 1.75" SU... Not my build, but it's just about farting about, it's not trying to be clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
