MG TD TF 1500 - Clutch ID

Is it 7-1/4" or 8"?
How can you tell?
Where do you measure?

Measure the lined clutch disc, Mort, not the clutch cover.

The clutch cover or pressure plate is a quality product. Do not rush to replace it with a new one!
And I believe it is the smaller one, and a better type spring system, that the racers use. Do you have a cable or rod type clutch linkage?
Len Fanelli

Len may very well be correct.
One picture shows "TYPMF 190"
190mm = 7.48031"

Can't you use the diameter of the throw out Bearing Shaft as an indicator? If it is 5/8" or 3/4"?

Thank you gentlemen,
I suspected as much. I got the clutch from Steve Neal when I got the Skyhook transmission.

Len,
I have the rod type linkage.

When Steve Neal supplies my Skyhook Gearbox, it came with a new 8" clutch and there was an instruction page to show where it might be necessary to file away a small part of the block edge to allow it to clear the new clutch housing. Only necessary for the 8" clutch.

But it looks like your is a 7.5" Clutch?

Mort,
I believe your transmission takes a Datsun clutch and an MGB pressure plate, but I may be wrong. I'd consider replacing the clutch disk and maybe the throw out bearing, but reuse the pressure plate.
