Toyota 4a-ge to type 9 gearbox

Good day all,
I am new to this forum stuff, so please forgive my ignorance, however, your help would be grateful.
I am building a Chris Gibbs roadster ( Locost ) and I am putting a 4A-ge motor in, with a type 9 gearbox, with a bellhousing from RAW. The information that I require is as follows,
1 - There is no release arm pivot on the bellhousing, what do I use, and from where.
2 - What release arm do I use, Ford type 9 or Toyota MR2 MK1
3 - What clutch and pressure plate do I use, Ford or Toyota, and what model.
Any help in this is appreciated as I am still waiting for the supplier to contact me.
Many thanks in advance

Hi REG

Good choice of engine!
Use the clutch arm and pivot and don't forget the pivot washer from the Type 9. I obtained my clutch assy and pivot bearing from RAW so I'm not sure of the actual part No.s or make and model. Hopefully someone else may know if you prefer to source these yourself.

Hope that helps.

Why not use the T50 Toyota?

I'm sourcing bits as wdll and the pressure plate is from a 1.6 Sierra with 5 speed box. Check that it is the 23 spline version.
Can't help on the arm because I'm going hydraulic with a Saab 99/900 Classic slave cylinder.

Hi all,
thanks for the advice and help, I am still waiting for a reply from RAW. ( Been over two weeks now, via email ), maybe I had better call them, it might be the only way to get info from them.
