Hi guys, just wondering what the differences are in Clutch seal.
Theres some NOS ones on eBay at the moment, they say 850 and cooper S upto 63.. I thought that they were the same.according to minisport there is only one kind.. would they fit? Sick of the modern rubbish ones

Ok time to redeem myself for my last cheeky post...

Apparently not all those seals are made the same and some are quite rubbish. I think this is the one you want, even explains the situation in the description:

Pretty sure this is the one I have and it's fine. Good luck!

Very early Minis had an oil seal in the flywheel as well as in the clutch housing.
The one on ebay may be the seal for the flywheel (smaller )

The Payen ones Kc sells now are good. But the noname ones that were about a year or more ago had problems with the spring and an undersized lip.

The black Rover one is good too, ditto the Minispares competition one made by Gaco.
