 Er, well my manual calls the plate under the generator pedestal (the
 plate with three semi-circular louvres) an oil deflector plate.
 Prehaps this is one of those we call it this, you call it that
 type situations. Frinstance, where are these rocker panels everyone
 mentions?

 The type 4 does fit into the original tranny, but the 2 litre pressure
 plate fouled on some small ridge in the bell housing when I tried to turn 
 over the motor, so I had to use a combination of 1800/2 litre/1600 bits 
 to get the flywheel,centre disc, pressure plate and release (throwout?) 
 bearing to fit and work.

  Well ours (well it adopted us actually) does that, but also seems to
  loose enough fur each day to maybe go into producing free range cat 
  fur type 2 seat covers. I was hoping to make my fortune and retire
  to a split screen in the country :)
