There are two common types sold for the spit (I am sure there are actually
dozens but...) One is the Borg and Beck, this is original equipment and
most people swear by them. However it has been suggested on the lists
before that many are stamped Borg and Beck while not being made by them.
The other is QH or Quinsen Halen (I am butchering the name, but it is
something like that) A very reputable parts supplier. These tend to be 20%
cheaper, while a lot of people say to only buy the Borg and Beck, Nigel at
Spitbits tells me its a waste and he has never had one go bad.
In any case I bought a Borg and Beck from Ted Schumacher, it was cheaper
than anyone elses QH and $30 less than other Borg and Becks.

Subject: Looks like I need a new clutch
The verdict seems to be that the clutch in my '79 Spit has packed it in.
And so the question: Moss lists two different clutch kits for my car.
Does any one have any experience with buying a clutch kit from Moss??
I have been pleased with all the parts I have bought from them up to
now, but I have heard there is at least one maker of clutches that needs
to be avoided. Anybody have any advice before I go ahead and order one??
Based on past reputation, I would probably go with the Borg & Beck.
Thanks for any help.
