Default Help needed finding a clutch for a 2.0 16v Fiat 131... anyone?

To cut a long story short my mates got a 1989 Pre-Lit Westfield with a Fiat 131 2.0 twin cam 16v engine, his clutch gave up the ghost today and we're having trouble locating one, anyone got any ideas or pointers?


Any help would be gratefully appreciated.


Tried googling the numbers on the pressure plate etc but no info has turned up. The only source i can find for a clutch is Guy Croft but at £300 it seems a bit pricey for a standard clutch kit.


There is also a clutch on ebay but he'd prefer to buy it from a well know place to be sure it's the correct item and to have a decent returns policy etc.

Here's the clutch assembly as it came out of the car



Friction plate, pressure plate and wear on flywheel look to be 215mm or 8 1/2" in diameter, 20 splines in the middle of the friction plate







Rear of the flywheel



The only brand names/markings visible on the clutch are

I assue the engine is just a standard fiat twin cam engine? If so, then Lanica clutches should work too, try this lot and see if they can help.

Sort of, it's lightly modified... twin 40's, 3 angle valve seats, bigger valves, headwork, lightened and balanced bottom end with receipts from Guy Croft. Cheers for the link, i'll tell my mate tomorrow.

regardless of all the mods, it is still a 2.0 twin cam, so tracking down a clutch shouldn't be a problem.

Good luck with the search.
