Okay, the first thing that I have to say is NEVER RELY ON ANYONE and NEVER ASSUME THAT A WORKSHOP KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I don't ever take anything to a workshop unless I can't do it myself, and in the case of rebuilding a clutch that's a bit out of my league.
So, I had the clutch uprated, etc and a new throwout bearing supplied. This is where the problem came in. I got the new bearing and carrier home and it didn't fit onto my fork. "Damn" said I.
Took the thing back and the guy was quite confused. Apparently there are a number of different types of throwout bearing, fork and carrier setups for W58's. The problem we have is that the nard threw out my old bearing, carrier and retaining spring, and I have NOOOO idea what it looked like (I have taken photos of every part of the conversion EXCEPT the old bearing). The only thing I have is the fork from the 1G W58 which I know must be right as that's what was on it. So I have to find a bearing and carrier to suit.
Below is a picture of the fork... does anyone know what the bearing and carrier should look like? Anyone got a pic? Or can anyone take one? I can't get my car running until I find out!
