the type 9 will fit, but you will need the spacer for the spigot bearing from westfield

Depends on the car.

RS2000 Bellhousing and Type 9 Sierra box is probably the cheapest way to go.

Retro Ford in Corby do a re-drilled flywheel and pinto clutch set up along with a concentric release bearing.

This set up wouldnt work in an Anglia for example, but would be fine in Escorts, Cortinas and Kit cars.
