tbh the organic ap should be fine for what you want if you dont want a paddle
What Bullet said!

Mine is a 4wd sapphire with a T34 0.63A/R on 803's, was fine for a while on the original 110,000 mile clutch but eventually it started slipping. I was told that the clutches Ford now supply are not up to the job (IIRC I think it was the cover plate).

I was advised to use the AP Organic, put one in, had the flywheel skimmed, fitted a new cable and it's spot on. A bit grabbier than standard and a bit heavier too but generally it's fine

Rainbird supplied mine, he's always spot on with delivery, price and service, give him a call
