Its nice to preserve the unique features of the early cars - even though it will never be seen  :D

My 1964 850 still had the spring clutch in it when I pulled the engine out last year. It was quite a surprise!

I've taken loads of photos of the dismantled parts and end end of the crank.
One day I'll figure out how to upload them to share the joy!

According to "anatomy of the classic mini " there should be an oil seal in my flywheel.1960 spring clutch... there's definitely a space for one but no sign of a seal. The chap at minispares advised there isn't one??
Once again I ask the Mini forum knowledge base!

If it has a wet primary gear then most definable yes, it would have had an Oil Seal in the Flywheel.

As far as I am aware, these seals are NLA but your friendly Bearing Shop might be able to sort you for one. They do need to be a High temp Seal.
