maybe contact cfm? if it is for the svt and not the 170 (you'd think they are common but knowing ford they are different)
If they confirm they are common then maybe there is another issue?

You sure that your Starter motor is not at fault. There should not be a difference between the SVT and ST170. I had a SVT lightened fly fitted to my ST170 with no problems at all. If your starter is not disengaging enough it may be making the noise you describe. The starter motors are prone to problems on the ST170 as they sit quite close to the cat and get very hot

Put a Helix Autosport Flywheel, Clutch and pressure plate on, (full kit) brilliant setup no issues and done a few races with it to & still going strong. DMF weight 26lb Helix 11.4lbs, goes like a train.
