Peelie Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Has any one else had problems with the phos bronze carrier. Got one delivered yesterday and it does not fit over the shaft. It is about 0.010" small compared with the old cast one. I can get it machined out but I will be having a word with Moss first Any idea on a clearance required or shall I just match the old one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 You may have the wrong one. I have had no problem except when I had a TR4 item that doesn't fit the 4A diaphragm clutch. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dingle Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 FWIW-The Buckeye article on "Sticky clutch" recommends a clearance of .008-.010" for the release bearing carrier, at least for the steel one. http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/clutch/StickyClutch/StickyClutch.htm Berry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reginald Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi I brought one from moss couple years back after having trouble with a new steel one dragging making heavy clutch. The bronze one from moss had a smaller internal dia than the original one so I had it machined out and polished (had access to facilities so didn't both returning it) now works fine Regards Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graeme Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yes, I recently got one from Moss for my TR250 and it doesn't fit! It will need machining but I don't know what the clearance should be. I thought I had received a rogue one but obviously it is just the Moss standards! Cheers Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
astontr6 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Dear All, This fault s/b be high lighted back to Moss and the TR QA Team otherwise it will not be rectified? Remember Moss has no Goods Inwards Inspection, US the customer does that for them!!!!!!! When we get parts that don't fit or work! Regards, Bruce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 As per post #2 make sure you haven't received a TR4 carrier. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peelie Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks for the replys. I will speak to moss in the first instance Barry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojim65 Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Barry, If it helps at all, last October I fitted a Revington bronze carrier together with their recommended release bearing and went from snatchy horrible heavy clutch to smooth light(ish) clutch movement with no problems on fitting or size. Very pleased with the product. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

graeme Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 As per post #2 make sure you haven't received a TR4 carrier. Roger Hi Roger, Although the TR4 carrier is slightly different for the release bearing, the internal diameter should be the same as TR4A/TR250. The gearbox nose is the same casting, just machined to a different length. Cheers Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi Graeme, indeed your right. Hadn't thought of that. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cp25616 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi Bought a phosphorous bronze carrier from TR Bitz about 2 years ago now and changed my clutch last year and its wonderfully smooth and light although I did use an NOS Laycock clutch assembly as well. John Sykes had these remade and judging by my experience it fitted well and performs as it should. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Have you got the correct gearbox fitted? Tr6 boxes have a different input shaft to 2500pl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graeme Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Have you got the correct gearbox fitted? Tr6 boxes have a different input shaft to 2500pl Yes, you are correct but the g/box nose is the same diameter on both cars and this is where the release bearing runs. Cheers Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilp3 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Gentlemen, I have also fitted the Revington phosphor bronze carrier with their uprated (Toyo I believe) release bearing and along with other remedial work whilst the box was out has transformed the clutch mechanism.
