| I have a single plate 10.5" scintered friction plate with a pressure plate fitted with uprated springs. I have the Mcleod internal hydraulic slave cylinder and had to install it hard back against the face of the ZF and it only just fits, so watch out for that one Frank.I changed from an organic plate to the scintered iron when race standing starts and tall gearing caused major slipping. I got a triple plate AP with the new motor but decided not to use it. (why change something that is proven to work). I have a 7/8" master cylinder and as Sandy indicated may reduce this to 3/4" because it is a very heavy pedal. I pinned the pipes to the internal slave cylinder against th ZF front face too after the pressure plate bolts chewed through one of them. What I'm saying is there's not a lot of room in the ZF bell housing so check,check and check again. The scintered friction plate has central springs and is not bad driving around the street, quite surprised me really.
