Are 1.8l Zetec Silvertop and Blacktop flywheels identical?

I am just working out clutch options to a type 9 and looking at the Mondeo engines noticed the Silvertop had a clutch which is 220 mm diameter with splines of 25.4 mm x 23. The Blacktop is 210 mm diameter with splines 26 mm x 23.
I have the latter engine from the mark II mondeo and I am just wondering if the flywheel would take the earlier larger clutch?

I did a quick check with my Sierra clutch basket (CVH) and found the mounting holes are different and would not fit and that's off a 215 mm diameter clutch.

If you buy the silvertop 1.8 flywheel it will bolt straight onto the blacktop crank. And it's drilled to fit the silvertop clutch. Or get your blacktop flywheel drilled to accept a pinto clutch which will take more power than the zetec ones.

You could always use th CVH flywheel which is miles lighter than any of the Zetec ones. That's what I did. Just needed the flywheel bolt holes opening up and a trigger wheel on the front crank pulley.

I can see a U2U with lots of questions from this answer!
