Re: [doc] LuK Clutch

["dmcnorway" <delorean@xxxx>]

Another website is: www.luk.co.uk
Turns out that DeLorean with a VIN under 800 (the early cars) have 10 
splines, whereas those with a VIN higher than 800 have 21 splines.

Mark - what is incl. in the LUK clutch kit, and how much should I 
expect to pay for the clutch kit?
