If you have the 8v twink then you have the Mt75. Don’t try and use the Dual mass flywheel, the clutch won’t work anyway. For a daily the 2.0 Zetec flywheel and clutch work fine. Due to the more compact fwd flywheel and clutch you need either a longer thrust bearing, look at Westfield. Or extend the clutch fork pivot pin. Look at Kitspares / Gbs. It’s pretty easy to make one and it needs to be around 20mm longer than stock.
