Few question for anyone here that's done an upgrade or put in a replacement engine, as I know the Griff's ran LT77's and T5's

Trying to sort all the parts so I can run a T5.
Only things I not sure about now are.
1. The spigot bush, is there a special one, as the inside of the LT77 one is too small, and the T5 bush is to small for the crank. (I could drill a LT77 copper one, or get a sleeve made for the T5 roller bearing one.)
2.Clutch, what clutch is used on the T5, I have a bullet Flywheel and think it will take both styles. but will need a clutch and pressure plate.

The spiggot is machined out lt77, you can buy them done for around £10, the clutch is the same on both boxes rob

Thanks
Do you know if the machining is anything special or can I just take one to a local machine shops with the size of the shaft.
