Default difficult clutch question. help pls

i am after a bit of help
i am using a cossie engine mated to a renaul un1 gearbox/transaxle
i thought it was a common conversion but cant find any info on the web about it
my problem is finding a clutch that will work with this.
i want to use a std cossie clutch cover and AP 6 paddle centre plate thats not a problem.
the problem is what release bearing i can use.
i need one that will work with the renault fork, and shaft (29mm) and also meet the fingers on a cossie clutch cover.

can any1 on here help me? or know any1 that can?
i have been searching for over a week but cant come up with anything

cheers

cossie clutch is 240mm
reno is 235
bearings wont work from either.

ive got a bearing on its way to me now
and will use a std 4x4 cossie cover with an ap centre.
just need to find out about the input shaft spacing now, but i would have thought the bell housing would have been made so the input shaft was in the correct position?????????
