i did think once would a zetec solid flywheel with a zetec cover plate but st170 230mm clutch plate combo work? no one seems to have ever done it so i can only assume the clutch would not reach the box shaft. i may be totally wrong though.
I was thinking a zetec flywheel and cover plate with an LET F28 vaux centre plate.

Didn't think of the flywheel thickness before, this could put a stop to the whole 'easy conversion'

If you used the zetec flywheel and cover with a 170 solid centre plate there would be no give anywhere. Don't think that this is a good idea on a daily driver?
