Series 2 rebuild which has a 200 tdi engine, Just about ready to fit new clutch , Please forgive me but I know there will be an Obvious answer to this but I do not know.
The old clutch I took out in first pic did not look to bad but has been stood in there for 10 to 12 years or more so going to order new. Anyway when I separated engine from box was expecting to see the ordinary gearbox as was on the last Series 3 rebuild I done with clutch fork etc, But it seems I have a series 2 gearbox with the slave cylinder on the side. No clutch Fork, Now the question is why did someone put the Series 3 Pressure plate in there ? the Clutch plate is 9.5 inches So which clutch kit do I order ?

Think you will have to stay with the 9.5 due to flywheel location pins.
With old landy's one often just does not know what others have done in the past.
2a diesel models do have 9.5 unit.

Thanks, do you think I should use one of these ? God knows how that other one worked, but I suspect it was fitted then sat in the rolling chassis and probably never tried https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/571228-clutch-pressure-assy-series-2a-1969-71.html

Has your flywheel housing had the 4 extra drillings and Allen bolts put in as in Glencoynes conversion, think some do it , and some don’t

Dont think so Mate, there is no allen bolts but there may be extra holes drilled. but it was mated to gearbox pretty good, Will be putting it back in soon so will find out.

Clutch in and engine back on chassis and box. Was just about to tighten the front crankshaft pulley bolt, The book says 340 nm

my wrench only goes to 210, dont think I will be able to borrow one that big, is there another way ? or should I just go for it tighten up the best I can with big bar and thread lock ?.

Thats about 240lbs/ft?
You dont weigh that much but you probably weigh more than 120lbs so I would guess if you stood on an 18inch breaker bar you would be pretty close.
As you have no body on you have this ability

That is pretty much the way I have done it.

Divide 250ft/pounds by your weight in pounds which will give to the length of bar in feet to stand on , if bar a bit longer just use tape to measure length where to stand
Maybe do the final torque over the 210 when you know everything works and it don’t need to come off again

I hope everything bloody works coz it's on now,

used big breaker bar with a bit of scaffolding tube fir more leverage and tightened it as hard as I could . Then again I'm not as strong as I used to be these days. So might get my son to give it another nip up if I remember
