Errol,
I never thought to check RB/VL Dunny stuff for a FJ clutch - thanks for the tip
and seeing as it's a Holden it just may be a bit cheaper? NO? Do'h
I have made a couple of specification errors (relying on the sob memory, have
to stop doing this on long weekends - slurp) in a couple of recent posts on
this subject. The FJ turbo clutch dimensions are 240 mm x 30 mm with the std
Nissan spline (24 teeth) and
(2) the Daikin 2000 Sports woven disc (200 mm x 30 mm x 24 t) with asbestos was
available from Japan up until the late 80's and I said they were only made in
Aus as they are now. Today I found that i have a brand new one of these which
was located when digging around for something else and to my dismay is says on
it "Made in Japan" with a big warning about asbestos fibres...
regards
Terry
