Which version of UKC0998 do I need?

#1 Post by cleverusername »

I have been looking for a replacement for my broken spigot retaining plate, for the Sprint, part number UKC0998. I contacted Winns and they have got back to me to tell me that the parts book lists two parts under that number. A thin and thick spacer.

I was hoping that someone would know which is the correct part?

Thanks

As far as I know there is only one part under that number. I would probably go with the thin one but ask them what the difference in thickness is first.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. :boggle2: ... Still Sprintless.

Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.

I suspect the thick one they describe is the spacer for the automatic transmission cars, it has a similar but different part number, one is UKC998, the other is UKC899 so maybe they’re just numerically challenged?

I’ve been trying to get some of these made, but when he presses them the location of the holes distort and he struggles to make the holes in the correct places after pressing…

That was my thinking too.

Is he pressing the disc and then punching the holes or punching the holes and then pressing the disc? or is there heat treatment involved?

Because of the accuracy required, he's been making the holes whilst the disc is flat.

I've given him an auto spacer as well as we're thinking he may be able to machine that out in the middle to act as the female tool and then use dowels in that to keep the holes in the right place...
