The clutch arm in the ebay link is the correct one for the cable clutch - assuming that your engine has the Verto clutch. The Verto-clutch arm that Minispares sell is for the hydraulic set up - easy to spot the difference the cable clutch arm has a rubber bush where the forked end of the cable attaches, whilst the hydraulic arm itself is forked to sit either side of the actuator rod. The plunger/piston that holds the release bearing is the same for both forms of actuation. I have used the Minispares part on a standard engine without problems. I guess the cheaper part might wear quicker if an uprated clutch cover is used.
I'm not sure what you mean by "Was the Avonbar engine based on the turbo lump as my local stockist says this is not available?" Unless your engine is a Turbo, it would have been based on an MG Metro 1275 A+ engine.
