Grantura Mk2A clutch for hillclimbing and fast road use
Discussion
Hi,
I am wondering how I can get a light racing clutch set up for my Mk2A in order to keep her Street drivable.
As you know Granturas had MG Magnette gearboxes (different clutch lever arragement) thus it sounds like that converting the MGA springs type clutch cover to MGB diaphram clutch is not a straightforward operation.
I am wondering to use a modified MGA roller clutch bearing, an organic AP racing clutch disk and if I can source one a heavy duty springs type clutch cover.
From an original TVR factory leaflet I found that they gave the option of an heavy duty clutch in period but nowdays looks like none of the most known parts suppliers eitehr keep im stock heavy duty springs for the above or a MGA cover with firmer springs.
I am going to use a MGB lightweight steel flywheel and I will change locating pins position and number or drill the cover to accomodate MGB flywheel.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Regards,
F

Hi,
Many thanks for your replay.
I have hi-starter 3 synchro with maybe 10 splines both on input and output.
I am basically aware on Mga and early Mgb setups but the key point is the difference beetwen Mga cover that's taller than Mgb diaphram.
Here in Italy I do not know anyone who can help me on this.
I have already bought parts from David Gerald but they looked to me not so prone to give advice on products.
What about Nigel Reuben?
Helix would work for me. Would you be so kind to let me know items codes and where to buy them?
Best regards,
F
