Clutch release bearing...

[Slammed]

My bay is a 1970 US spec delux, would it have a late or early release bearing?

I haven't a clue!

Need to know if it'll fit with a KEP stage 1 clutch.

:?:

It could have either, but that one's an early type.

Thanks, do I need to remove the ring from the clutch to make it work then?

Cheers,

Do you need to fit a tube for the later release bearing as well?
See part 6 on this diagram:

Vaguely remember theere being some sort of early to late conversion kit available, someone with more knowledge than me may be able to confirm/deny.

Not gonna convert it.

I only asked because the clips looks like the later ones.

You've got the early bearing.The later one's came in 1971 when they started fitting the guide tube to bus boxes.
