Earlier this year RMVR had an incident with a flywheel exploding on an MGB. I had given thought to this danger but had kind of dismissed it. In looking over the archives, there was some activity rega

I was behind a TR2 whose clutch exploded. The flying shrapnel and debris was everywhere, and the driver had some serious injuries (no scattershield). The complaint that some have about wrapping the t

What I have is a steel plate in the area next to the flywheel. What I'd like is a oil and grease resistant kevlar blanket for the entire transmission. But I'm ok with just the plate and a limited ima

What are you folks using for scatter shields and their source. I see Uncle Jack has (had) a metal "U" shaped shield that fits around the transmission cover inside the car. Others feel that the shield

I'm running a custom built scattershield on my Spitfire that is made from 1/4 inch mild steel plate which conforms to GCR requirements. It was hand fabricated from two pieces using a big torch and a

Coincidentally, I was just cleaning my scatter shield today, it's out of the car along with the trans tunnel. Mine was made by "Trans-Dapt" and looks to be 3/4" thick belted rubber with angled steel

One of our guys had his TR4 clutch explode at the end of the straight at Winton in Vic . Cut the bell housing in half and dumped the fragments in the passenger footwell . No shield just the cardboard

Do you know what kind of clutch it was that exploded? Any chance it was it a stock finger-type TR2-4? I have heard of a couple of those that have let go. Anybody ever hear of a TR4A-6 diaphragm spri

I am using the Uncle Jack item (bought at Carlisle some years ago). It fits well and is hardly visible, especially when painted body color. It intrudes very slightly on the throttle foot, but unless

Some several years ago... I took a TR4 tranny to Diest safety (they have been making these ballistic fabric scatter shields for years) and had several made up to fit the TR3/4/6 bellhousing and box.

The one in my car is the one my brother put in when he built it in 1971. The epitome of no-budget construction -- just a chunk of rubber conveyor belt bolted to the inside of the plastic aftermarket

I have one of Mordy's blankets on my TR-4A. It's never been tested but I like having it on there. It has an added benefit in that at speed any oil lost from the engine collects in the blanket and the

Hi Dan I run a u shaped brace around the front of the prop, and [sometimes had a steel band round the top of the bellhousing] ... Best job is to 8 or 12 bolt the flywheel. I've lost a 4 bolt & dowel

You are correct it was a early finger type clutch . I have not heard of a diaphram clutch exploding but we have had a number of flywheels come off the 2.5 motors but not come through the bell housin
