MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Rover SD1 Clutch

Hi Everyone, I'm having problems finding a clutch. My flywheel is from a SD1 and I'm using a TR7 5spd with the SD1 bell housing.
The problem is that I can't find anyone with a listing for a SD1. Does this clutch fit other Rovers too?

Thanks, Kelly

If you don't mind buying mail order from the UK try www.rimmerbros.co.uk I know they have the SD1 clutch.

from my clutch book it looks unique to SD1. Try Sachs 5000 047 001 or Borg & Beck HK9690

Kelly,
Get a Victoria British TR7/TR8 catalog. TR8's used the same set up. The first time around I wasn't aware of this catatlog and on the recemendation of a friend took the old clutch disc to a clutch rebuilder in Cleveland, they rebuilt the original for around $100.

Thanks Bernie,
I was browsing the Moss Motors web site and found a TR8 clutch on clearance! About 1/3 of what I was expecting to pay.

Just a follow up. The TR8 clutch fits!

Thanks for the help.
