which crossflow clutch

Hi guys

I am swopping gearboxes over the weekend so I might as well change the clutch too.

Which clutch will you recommend for a 130-140 bhp crossflow with a type 9 gearbox.

Thanks

IIRC you may need an early 1600 Sierra clutch?

I'd vote for standard. Think how light the Locost is compared to the Escort/Cortina that engine originally came out of, a standard clutch should have no trouble.
