Ap racing 200mm release bearing

[ababaz]

Hello I intend to buy ap racing 200mm clutch and mechanism for my BE4 turbo saxo

However, I wonder about the release bearing.....

Does the oem one fits or will i have to buy a special one ?
Because on ap website the release bearing juste looks like a bearing without any attachement pins for the fork... unlike the BE one... how to fix the release bearing on the clutch fork then ??

It'll probably include the bearing as part of the clutch kit.

I dont buy the kit. I buy the cover and the clutch from separate sellers

Are you talking lug drive or uprated stock item? If its a uprated stock item it would just be the same as what your getting the BE box from.

well im gonna buy this

200mm ap racing so i can use spring type clutch

i found out that the 184mm ap racing clutch and the 200mm uses the same release bearings sizes, if there's is anybody that had mounted a 184mm on their saxo with be gearbox please let me know

the release brg to suit the be box +racing clutch is something special

you need then to make an adaptor to mount the brg onto a std brg carrier with the correct spacer distance built in
basically a "top hat section of alloy that is a press fit on brg and std carrier once you remove std bearing from it
the size of spacer is dependant on clutch height --single or double plate cover,and also fork type in box --cross shaft or pin type clutch fork 200mm cover for same torque rating is much lower pedal pressure +also plate will last longer --both can be fitted to tu5 flywheel with correct modifications when using be box--

Thanks you. Ap racing cp3457-1should work in the std bearing carrier (35mm inside)

size of spacer should be 35.05mm to give a good tight press fit to the ap bearing
sometimes its easier to make inside of this spacer a good slide fit to carrier, it being a funny shape --then use 2 pack glue to be sure --as its plastic --press fit is very hard to get right on the carrier as its plastic

also allows you to do a dry build and play about with spacing before commiting to final size --to keep clutch arm at correct angle for best leverage

my guess
depending on type of arm and bearing --3-7mm thickness between bearing +carrier
