I installed a Borg & Beck, 3 piece set in my 79 Spitfire this past spring.  No
issues on installation or function on my 1600 miles so far.
I gets my vote.

----------------------------
I have to rebuild the bottom end of my engine, so I am going to replace
the clutch at the same time.

Any recommendation on brand?

TRF has LUK for $290 OEM for $195
SpitBits has Coventry for $118
Moss has Borg and Beck $190 and QH $160
BP Northwest has Borg and Beck for $120
Victoria British has an unnamed brand for $140
Oh of course FLAPS Beck/Arnley for $400

It seems like a very wide range of prices.  Car basically what European
trim would be - dual SU's compression about 9.2 - so it does not need a
heavy duty or racing type clutch.

Thanks,
Roger Elliott
