Bronze (or brass, not sure which it is) was standard on the earlier cars.
It was changed to steel at some point, early TR6 I think, probably to reduce
manufacturing cost.
The reduced lubricity of the steel, along with the shorter front cover
introduced with the TR4A, is likely part of the reason TR6 clutches are so
troublesome, while the earlier ones are relatively trouble-free.
BTW, when adding the bolt to reinforce the taper pin, be sure to check that
the end of the bolt cannot drag on the gearbox front cover. As already
mentioned, it will have to be trimmed to achieve this.
