PLaced an order today for some bits from Julian at the fabulous Minits, got me a AP racing bonded clutch plate for the engine now i can get it done... done alot of research into a plate as i wanted something to last but at the same time drivable.... hard one i know but m.e.d and julian both recommended this one so ill give it a go.
