While we were in Normandy for the 70th my newly acquired WC 52 had an "incident" with its clutch. There was a ping and then the pedal went nearly to the floor before moving the actual clutch ! On removing the cover plate from the bottom of the bell housing the release bearing had come out of its seat, we managed to get it back into position but it came out several more times over the holiday but by leaving the cover plate off it was a moments job to pop it back in again. I presume there should be a clip of some sort holding it in place as on other vehicles I have owned, but it wasn't in the bell housing so I have no idea what it looks like or how it attaches. I have tried looking it up on the internet but can find no pictures of the bearing in situ or a part number for it. Does anyone out there have any idea what I need, and also where I can source one ? I presume the engine or gearbox will have to removed to fit it anyway so I will need to find someone up to the job if possible in the Lincolnshire area, any suggestions ? Thanks all :-\
