If the clutch did not slip it must be OK.

The Repco catalogue from 1984 shows the same pressure plate on the Mini and the Cooper S/Clubman GT. (part number deleted)
It shows a different driven plate though.

Measure the thickness of the diaphragm spring and compare it to a blue dot S one. I think same or thicker. I don'thave one here, will check tomorrow.

I found some more info in some other Repco catalogues. I don't expect anyone is interested though.

I'm "reasonably curious"... but you're right, I don't know if it'd stretch to "interested"....

The Repco one I have the spring measures 2.35mm thick.
My AP grey dot one is 2.5mm.
Both blue dot Cooper S ones here measure 2.10mm.

I seem to remember this Repco one was the same thickness as an orange dot one.

Hmmm... the 2 I have here are definitely blue dot? Took one out of an S last week. I throw old green dot ones away...! Unless I am going colour blind and they are green..! :?
