saab 99 900 clutch plate

[GT6 M]

Am i right in thinkin thee,s  Saab 99, 900  clutch plates
will fit onto a fine spline 1850  input shaft,

or is it an urban myth

they are 215 mm same as an OE 1850  / GT6 plate

Wouldn't have thought so.....

From the TDC forum I understand there is a saab clutch cover taht can be used on 1850/sprints, and therefore a 2000/2.5.
The saab cover is much lighter than the normal offerings.

[GT6 M]

Ahaa, getting some where,

Butt, which cover,,

all of em, !! and which plate,
it not that clear looking into this,
as some say they will, some they they had problems,

And as the Saab one is aboot 7lbs lighter, then thats a good start

well my helix clutch uses a saab turbo cover(higher torque rating) I was told by them so I suspect you are right about the friction disc although I don't know about the spline size.

[GT6 M]

All sorted, any Saab clutches i seen, all ed wrong number of splines in  em,

Some folk said Volvo plates are same, same agen, could nae see any wid correct spline count
maybe there there, but gotta no what t,look for.

and, I read ont Dooly forum that the Saab clutch was  ...only 5 KG,
3 KG lighter than OE.

think they must ev been coked in copious amounts of Ferodo an clinker
cos me own only wieghs in at 4 KG,

And, got 3 ford V4 clutch plates for 10£ inc postage
so mus,nt grumble there.

Not all V4,s ev the same spline count, some are 20

Butt, Escort, Capri, Cortina, Granada 2L ones are same { check spline count, as some are 20 }
And TR7, 5 speeders are same as 4 speeders plates

there some good bargains on the Bay of  Flee,s

like 99p for a rover 2.6 or Ambassador plate.
butt, I think they wrong size for ours.
as cud,nt fin owt oot aboot size

Quoted from GT6 M

all ed wrong number of splines in  em,

So what is the correct number of splines we have to look for? Not 20 I presume

[Beans]

If I remember correctly TR7 clutch plate has 23 splines.
So also http://tr7beans.blogspot.nl/2012/02/new-clutch-at-last.html

[GT6 M]

The Dolly 1850 LATE type and the TR7 4/5 speeders are 23 splines

the earlier type, which are same as OE GT6 are  9{ i think } thick square shaped splines
Im running a Hybrid box, hence why I need a finer spline plate


Butt,owt wid 23 splines and 8 1/2 inch -215 mm is OK
butt, also needs plenty of rivets on em, and a 6 springs

some of them had 3 rivets on, an they dropped t,bits

Yes, some Saab clutches are correct for the 1850 box spline count and you can use the covers on any of the bigger Triumph clutches.

There are some Sierra clutches that also fit.

I have some part numbers somewhere.........
