Have an early GT (like a Mk2 S) short motor and it has a spider drive cam. Is this correct?

Someone will know but many members don’t get on here on a regular daily basis. It’s been less than 24 hours since you first posted.

Same here.

Edit:
I've heard some have a spider drive but I've not seen one.

The Clubman parts catalogue shows a pin drive "Cooper S" cam initially (AEG510), then the star drive (AEG523), but the change point is not specified in this document.
