best way to fit that ring back on, super glue, 2 part epoxy resin or tiger seal?
on the plus side, the chips were nice

its got AP stamped on it, not sure if its a racing one
Very strange. If you can scrape the pennies together, might be worthwhile sending it back to AP for comment!
Wonder if it was Chinese copy of AP?

i'm not sure this is going back together right.
boy put new clutch in and fitted gearbox on,
all the petals on pressure plate went flat, cant remember if that is right? not done a clutch for what seems like years
the clutch arm didn't look right to me looked as though it was where it would be if pedal was pressed. so i thought fit slave before going any further and see how it feels, pedal felt very sloppy, so i took everything apart again to double check clutch had been fitted with flat side to fly, it had been fitted right.
now not sure if there any thing wrong or if its just me

hmm no one any ideas?
The big bad is that there's no clear illustration/description I can find.i'm not sure this is going back together right.

The Porter book of all small FIATs sayeth "Offer the driven plate to the flywheel with the side having the greater hub projection facing outwards".

looks like it was just me gone mad, put it back together again and clutch works, shame the engine and rest of the car is crap

took a clutch out of a fiat idea today it has only done 46k miles, it says made by AP on one side and Fiat on the other, ive always belived fiat used valeo, seems not
pretty sure i read recently Fiat stopped using Valeo as original equipment.
My guess is they'll have a "prefered supplier" and a couple of others to keep some kind of JIT system going.
I heard the Valeo thing, too, but I'm not sure if it applies throughout FIAT (in which case it would be multi-continental) or only to some lines.
