Just got hold of an MRE lock up clutch kit from USA (eBay)
Anyone got any tips about fitment
Seems quite straight forward, already got proper casing cover so won't foul
Any advice welcome before i try and start to set it up

When you install it you'll see the levers put pressure on the pressure plate - the issue is you need to modify the pressure plate - drill and install little teflon buttons to stop the levers from eventually cracking the pressure plate.

Thanks for that tip Jeff, sounds like good advice.
I'm gonna get a needle bearing, mushroom lifter from Steve (Debben) and would be happy for any DETAILED information/advice on Jeffs comments above for strengthening the end pressure plate.
Where can i get hold of teflon buttons or similar (nylon maybe)

do you need to split the cases to do the work you are doing? as I fancy one of the clutch lifters as well, I was going to call in Debbens next week to buy one. ask Jeff for a price for the buttons.
And take lots of pictures of the work so we can all learn from the Pigford master class

These guys will sell you a modified pressure plate and are happy to give out any advise. I nearly bought a complete kit from them for the Harris.

Kev - no just remove the clutch casing and pressure plate.
Pigford - some fit steel buttons to spread the load.

Cheers guys!
Rich, can I locate some 'ready-to-fit' steel buttons, or do i just get some rod cut
Any idea on size (diameter rod & length of cut buttons)
