Hello
TC from 1949 and TD early from 1951 up to n°9407 have a 7 1/4" (184mm) clutch, 10 splines, 7/8" gearbox axle and not an 8" (200mm), 1" gearbox axle.
This 7.25" clutch was very tight (110Nm) and did not take any greater torque. Which very quickly caused the switch to 8" for tds greater than 9408 (MK2?) and TF

If you insist, you may well have to order an 8" cover to d...

Seems like a good price for the seller, based on all the work done. VERY nice crankshaft (Phoenix?)!

But I would pai...
