I have my original 1.6 flywheel. Let me know if you want to meet and measure it.

Also I dont have any way to really measure how thick the metal is at the friction surface
this is for a 1.6? hmmm.. seems kinda large for what i was thinking.

thanks tho!

Whelp, I got my used tilton in from ebay and put it on top a spare 1.6 flywheel. The friction surface will need to be machined back about 1cm ish and the entire area outside of the friction surface will need to be milled down so that the step is 0.100" tall. Also the machine shop would need to center the cover on the flywheel and drill/tap holes to mount it.

If you look carefully you will see that the ID of the friction surface is already the perfect diameter for the tilton clutch discs. The discs that came with this used clutch is a 3 plate sintered metallic package. I am ditching it and have already ordered a new PP that goes with the 2 disk rally setup and will be ordering custom clutch discs from clutchnet like matt (y8s) did. I was quoted an estimated $45 for the job after describing what needed to be done over the phone. He said to him it just sounded like a custom resurface, which other than drilling/tapping it is. It might run a bit more because they would charge by the hour for the work but he said it would be 2 hrs max (so $90 max).

I will be dropping it off by monday along with my block/pistons.

Here are the pics:

no, and dont. that's a lot of spring pressure to release.

it should be on the fingers near where the release bearing rides. probably a 3 letter code. BUF, ORA, GRN, etc.

so it's about 30% more pressure than mine. that's probably not too bad. probably hold 400 ft lbs with organic disks and the high ratio pp.
