Hi, I am looking for a Newton Bennett 8" clutch plate to fit a 1936/7 Austin 10 with a 1939 engine, the type I am after does not have the springs in the plate, anything will be of interest even if it is worn out, I can replace the plates, it just has to be minus the springs. Does anyone know of one, has one to sell or can tell me were to get one. Cheers

Have you tried the Austin Ten Drivers Club? I have not been a member for some years but they used to have a good spares store and if they did not have the part they could tell you where to get it.
I may have one somewhere but its probably under half a ton of other junk, if I come across it I'll let you know.
I remember that the early 10/4 had the clutch lining fastened to the flywheel, and the plate was just a disc with a centre that was prone to shearing the rivets but I cannot remember what the later one looks like, although I fitted one to my 1932 model about 15 years ago.

Have you tried 'Available Austins' (tel no 01676 541276) or Austin ten Men Ltd (tel no 01902 676778) ?
Would you happen to have the 2 brackets which hold the rear number plate and tail lights? (also for a 10)
