Just trying to sort all the parts so I can run a T5.
Only things I not sure about now are.
1. The spigot bush, is there a special one, as the inside of the LT77 one is too small, and the T5 bush is to small for the crank. (I could drill a LT77 copper one, or get a sleave made for the T7 roller bearing one.)
2.Clutch, what clutch is used on the T5, I have a bullet Flywheel and think it will take both styles. but will need a clutch and pressure plate.

John eales or John reid are probably the people who could give you the quickest answer..

I run a stock griff 500 flywheel, and a road style clutch and pressure plate pack from John Eales.

Do you have a bell housing for the T5 as JE also do those complete with internal slave which is also what I use..


have you got the right t5 bush? not the one for the cossy yb. also not sure if the input shaft is the same on the cossy version of the box

Well the cossy bush fits the shaft.
I have the bell housing and release arm etc (this is the external one same as the LT77)

Id expect the cossy bush to fit the input shaft but not the engine
