Clutch Installed

This evening the clutch driven plate and cover were attached. The Land Rover came with a 9.5" clutch installed, and so I decided to keep things that way. Installing the new clutch was pretty straight forward, helped by the clutch alignment tool you can see at the bottom of the photo, from Rovers North. I was contemplating making my own from pipe, but as the purpose-built tool has the splines and cost next to nothing, I went with that. Having the splines on the tool also means I can make sure the splines of the driven plate and those of the primary pinion are aligned as much as possible before trying to slide them together, which, I hope, should cut down on the 'jiggling' necessary when installing the gear box.
