Maybe you have some from a gearbox change etc? Check under the bench.
Even if you have the bellhousing and fork complete, please let me know.

M20/M21 - 253/308 same.

Just had a quick look, & found 2 V8 housings, no fork or anything on them, & 3 late cable b/housings.
I seem to remember there being a spring on the fork as well?
Used to see the clutch fork mounted with no plates, I presume someone was too lazy to replace after a changeover. & they seem to work without the plates. Are they to keep dirt & shit out of the clutch?

Hi Max,

Thanks for looking. Yeah they are a pain in the rear, do have a spring and are there to help keep dust out. I use to run without them.
But you know how it is, restoring a HQ Sandman to factory spec etc.

I have a bellhousing, fork, ball, dust/inspection cover and spring. Really only need these plates. But happy enough to take a package deal to get what I need.

Got an old school mechanic mate he has stuff from the 80s i will see him on the weekend and ask the question
So the 6 cylinder ones wont do the job ?

[Innuendo]

Thanks Gene, that would be appreciated. Nah, the 6 banger uses different plates because one of the plates slips over the clutch fork and the forks are completely different in shape and style.
I actually have the 6 cyl version here. Wish it was the same!

G'day Max,

Yeah mate all sorted. Ended up buying a complete bellhousing, fork with plates etc. Expensive way of doing it but I just couldn't find them separate.
So now I have "extras" so if anyone is looking for a fork or bellhousing hit me up!

Thanks for the heads up though.
