[Rovernet] 2000 Clutch

[Dermot Harvey]

Hi Bill and others...

I pulled the engine and trans on my 2000 as a lump, and was glad that I did as the flywheel was scored. I removed both servos and the carburettors but left the header and cam cover on. I did use an engine tilter and I jacked up the rear of the car.
The clutch was really a mess and I'm surprised in worked at all,
I will be removing the AC from the car - its not a good match with a 4 cylinder engine. However, I am in need of an alternator bracket part number 574326.
I don't want to cut down the existing bracket, as someone might want the AC and they will need the full AC bracket.
Anyone out there with a spare bracket? It would have to from from a late car which had the alternator but didn't have AC.

Thanks

Dermot Harvey
