Roy, Yes that is another way to do it. I was Refering to the way GTD used to fit it. It was an Essex flywheel redrilled to take a standard Renault clutch so it would mate up to the input shaft on the Gearbox. The renault would then slip as the cover was not strong enuf to hold the organic plate, being about 1400lbs of clamping pressure. My AP Racing has 2400lb cp. On an organic plate thats plenty. I off a four and six paddle plate also, that makes your clutch like a switch. Though it can tighten your gearchanging.
All the best
