Re: [Healeys] Clutch/Release/Pressure Plate Questions

I think the clutch you have fits only to the flywheel you have, so it 
would then be from a BJ8. The various clutch assemblies have different 
bolt patterns, so won't fit any other flywheel.
For example, when I had my transmission (MkII, tri carb) apart I 
replaced the clutch with a BJ8 clutch, as I happened to have a BJ8 
flywheel lying around. This is much better than the standard MkII item.
