R4 F4 clutch kit 845cc wanted

[Scott4]

Morning ,
My thrust bearing is becoming increasingly noisy on my 1979 f4 van. Paul cunningham has been suggesting its time to bite the bullet and fit a new clutch kit.
I'm after a renault / valeo/ or borg&beck kit

part number - 77 01 464 763​

Its a long shot but thought it might be worth an ask , i'm based in west sussex.

Thanks Duncan

Just replace the clutchplates and pressure bearing only and do not replace the pressure group.
Nowadays the Valeo pressure group is constructed in a different way than the original ones.
On the new made pressure group the tangential leaf springs are contructed the other way round so forces are absorbed the other way around. Valeo has only looked at Cleon engine pressure group, the Billancourt engine pressure group has a different construction.
It will work but for how long....?
