Simon =E2=80=93 I fully agree. I didn=E2=80=99t want to risk complicating =
your life by suggesting this earlier. Now that that has been done ---------=
!
My tri-carb =E2=80=93 so close to yours in car number =E2=80=93 has been we=
eping a bit of oil in sympathy with your overdrive ordeal. Mine got a BJ8 =
clutch 20 plus years ago =E2=80=93 an excellent upgrade. Many others here =
have done the same upgrade and all would agree. Now =E2=80=93 when you hav=
e the whole mess apart anyway =E2=80=93 would be the time to do it. As Joh=
n says, if you can=E2=80=99t find a BJ8 flywheel (a direct replacement), an=
y competent automotive machine shop can modify your existing one (different=
mounting bolt size and circle, different locating dowel positions and numb=
er).
If you decide to do it, I=E2=80=99m sorry to add to your task.
Cheers anyway ---

I'll second what John says. I put a BJ8 clutch in my 100 and it is lighter =
and easier to engage than the spring clutch.

I took the overdrive up to OD Spares and explained what was going on. They =

The pump plunger wouldn=E2=80=99t go all the way up because the cas=

Plastic Padding or Plastic Metal are our equivalents. I suspect OD Spares h=

very knowledgeable about the stuff, saying it =E2=80=9Ctakes 24 hours to g=

Anyhow, they put in a brand new front casing and a new clutch. Tested, the=
OD ran at 500psi++.
While they were doing that, 08:30 to 12:30, I was able to go to AH Spares a=
nd get a clutch kit and various other bits. First time there. Bit surprised=
by the member of staff who said =E2=80=9CWe=E2=80=99re not mechanics. We j=
