Default Cosworth - is there just 1 type of flywheel?

I'm in my garage trying to fit a new AP clutch to my 2 wheel drive Sapphire and the bolt and dowl holes don't line up I took a Ford AP one off and the holes are perfect but the new one seems to be different.

Are there different flywheels?

There are different std flywheels (weight) but the all accept the same cover.

I know sometimes they can be a little stubborn to get on as sometimes the dowls aren't perfectly straight. A little bit of persuasion and it should go. If it still doesn't you might want to check that they have actually supplied the correct clutch.

Here are the photos

One the flywheel









On the standard cover









As you can see nothing lines up I'm really fucked off with it now, the first clutch I had fitted slipped and now this

Any ideas?

Mystery solved

The seller replied to me and there was a mixup and he sent me someone elses cover and vice versa He had no way of knowing who had which cover until they emailed him so he's sending me the correct one now and will refund my postage to send that one back

Hopefully it won't take long
