S50/52 are right on the cusp, which is why a lot of folk go with a heavy duty or aftermarket unit.

Hey guys. Ever seen a three piece clutch before? I think it would be a hot seller.
Oddly, some p-p's give up quickly, others last a long time,
and they look identical going in. Check the rivets on the straps carefully-
my straps always broke there...
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves

your 88 is so clean, hope to get mine that way soon... Id ask more though :)
my m42 is acting up on me. leaving the gas station yesterday I had an extremely weak crank... so I push started it and made my way home. The radio reset itself when trying to crank the car, and only works now with the key in the ignition/accessory on positions WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING. very odd. car still has good power and bump starts easily.
I am thinking the alternator died and the battery has very little charge, or it got overcharged. Something odd... gotta look into it this weekend. anyways I am not interested in putting a reman "lifetime" warranty POS on there - going to rebuild what I have. Gonna take pics too and make a nice DIY. anybody ever done this? looks fairly straightforward

I Don't know if you can replace the carbon wipers (the contact points that pick up the current) on them, but if you're in there, not a bad idea to replace them. Usually, you'll replace the springs that put the tension on them at the same time.1984 Alpina B6 2.8/1 #35
