Any universal set,
Sprint components are common sizes (not just with British makes but also Saab, Ford, Volvo, etc.)
Another way to align the clutch plate is to use an input shaft.....

Thanks guy for the reply - I just wish I had an old gearbox input shaft to hand - unfortunately I don't.

Bloke at work turned this up for me from the measurements I gave him, works a treat.

The spigot bush is 1/2" so thats a start and find a socket that fits the clutch centre and bingo !
I have a special tool in my mass of gear but improvisation is the name if you are only needing it once.

the non-pointy end of a screwdriver has always worked for me. Never had any problems.

The spigot bush is only a poxy oilite bush (go to a bearing supplier like BRT and ask for a 1/2 id x 3/4 od x 3/4 long oilite bush and expect to pay a massive £1 or so) and is easily damaged by the hard gear box spigot.
TR7's have a needle bearing.

This type does fine on any clutch. It clamps the plate on the cover and you can centrate the plate on the pressure ring.
