Alas, it=E2=80=99s not just B&G supplying parts that do not fit or d=
o not do the job.
Today, by chance, I was involved in a clutch replacement in 1976 MG=
B. The new throw-out bearing came with two types of retainers, one the usual=
sort, the other a spring-thing. Didn=E2=80=99t matter initially, as the T/O=
bearing centre casting was too large diameter to fit into the T/O lever arm=
s. Fortunately, we had a lathe in the shop and a few minutes later had cut=
.015 off the casting. The original-type retainer clips then fit and job is=
done.
But the owner who does not happen to have a lathe handy would be ou=
t of luck, and if the job were being done by a shop, another 30-45 minutes o=
f shop time for the job.
