Been looking at the ap ones. I dont like the idea of modifying the quadrant though. Plus clutch kit and quadrant all starts to get a bit expensive.

should be lright with an LUK frst one with a frshly skimmed flywheel.
failing that, fit a paddle and do the pedal mod, it's not expensive, can be done for less than £30 if you search a scrappy.

No it's not, it's on any of the AP range that have very heavy pressure plates, take a peek on their site.

Go AP organic, do the pedal mod and know you haven't done half a job. I run the Helix organic on my Escort and it's very good but it is very heavy in use
