Mcloed twin plate clutch, how to fit?
Discussion
It seems like a good time to bite the bullet and make the car a little more pleasurable to drive.
I just want to make sure that I'm getting everything right at this stage.
First, apparently I have to have approximately 10 mm machined from the rear of the thrust bearing carrier. Is this correct?
I assume this is so the carrier can go further back towards the gearbox to allow for the deeper clutch plates?
I already have a forged aluminium flywheel as supplied by V8 Tuner and Abbey sports cars. Can I use the twin plate clutch with this flywheel?
I already use a single plate Mcloed 10 1/2 inch clutch so I was wondering if the new twin plate clutch mounting holes will line up with my existing?
I also have the ARP flywheel to clutch mounting bolts.
Considering the clutch release arm is moving in a slightly different arc, will the existing clutch slave cylinder work correctly?
Last thing, can someone confirm which is the exact clutch that I need? Possibly part number would be good?
Thanks in advance guys.

That is a good question Derek.
Well, my shopping trip to Real Steel did not materialise. I tried to join the M25 at Junction 10, (A3) but the traffic was crap and at a standstill so will try again mid morning tomorrow.
Don't you just love the M25 and the overcrowded south-east of England!

Of course, I can't fit the clutch and measure what needs to be removed from the thrust bearing carrier until I remove the block from the engine stand, I can't do that yet as I'm building the engine!
I can't carry on with building the engine until the new camshaft and lifters arrive.
Oh well, everything takes longer than you think!
