Clutch for T5 LS400???

[dicko]

Okay so, my conversion is coming along pretty well, having trouble sourcing a clutch though. The gearbox is the T5 from the 2004 XR6 Ford Falcon, but the custom flywheel and pressure plate only allow for a 9.5" clutch (242mm outer diameter) and the stock Falcon one is a 10".

So, does anyone have any clutch ideas that have the same spline and centre setup as the 2004 Ford T5, but with the smaller outer diameter? Or failing that, any places (preferably this side of the equator) that do a reasonable custom clutch setup? I've heard it's a pain in the ass to go through Exedy for custom setups.

Cheers guys

What is the spline size and pattern of the trans that you have?

If the input shaft is the same as a Mustang (10 spline, 1-1/16") then a BMW M3 disc (E36 I think) should work.
I'm using an AP clutch with a 10 spline 1-1/8" centre and it's a very good fit.
As for covers, that depends on your flywheel.
I'm using an A1 Turbos flywheel which is made to suit a Toyota cover (in fact just about to call Exedy to get a cover sorted).

nah it's got way more than 10 splines, and the diameter of the input shaft is only roughly 25mm. I'll get a pic:

The tape measure is just there to put things into perspective.
