Hi guys
As you may know I'm in the (very early) process of electrifying my Freelander and one of the hurdles is coupling the electric motor to the gearbox. @Nodge68 has kindly agreed to assist with his lathe but we need an old clutch friction plate from a FL1 TD4 to make the gearbox side of the coupler. It doesn't matter if it is used as we intend to cut it down to just the centre part anyway.
I can buy a new one for around £50 but I'm a tight bu@@er and am trying to keep costs down. Also buying a used one to then destroy it seems wrong somehow for an EV conversion.
If anyone can help please let us know.
Thanks in advance
 
A slight update on the begging in the original post is I may end up with a petrol car for this conversion so in that situation I would need the friction plate from a 1.8 K series.
If anyone is able to help I will cover any postage costs and buy you a pint of Guinness next time your over here. ;)
