Clutch arm pic request

[Stu_B]

Anyone got a better pic than this?

 

 

Basically I have a type e gearbox with an alloy anglia bellhousing, I have to make a hydraulic arm that will take a pinto release bearing & Im having trouble mounting the bearing so that it'll pivot but not twist

 

Any pics of how the bearing is actually fixed would be great

I'm using an anglia arm on mine which is more of a fork.

 

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to hand...

Yeah I have a modified anglia arm but the last bearing wasn't mounted properly & snapped one of the tabs off causing the bearing to drop back into the fork & sit wonky:

 

 

 

You can see how the bearing has dropped back through the arm, the arm is wonky & the clutch was dragging:

Nasty. Mine got twisted too, but not that bad. I ended up getting a second hand one off ebay for a few quid

Cheers for the replies Mike but my arm isn't twisted, it was just that the bearing wasn't attached properly & it had snapped off a tab & dropped back into the arm making it go wonky & not press the bearing properly.

 

I have all the kit I need (AP driveplate, cover & bearing) they all fit, but the problem I'm having is mounting the bearing to my modded arm satisfactorily.

 

Anyone got a pic of a pinto release bearing & how it fits into a pinto fork/arm?

 

 

Is it as simple as just welding a plate in with those tabs so the bearing clips in?

 

Heres a pic of my arm (will get a better one later)

 

 

It's basically an anglia arm, the pivot has been cut from another & welded on th eback to give it more leverage (the equivalent of a spacer ) and then the fork section has been built up to house a pinto bearing but it all self destructed! I need to rebuild it but am unsure of how th epinto bearing should mount & if there are any clips etc to hold it in place.
