Default Modification on McLEOD Clutch Kit

Hi, I'm Oliver a friend of Desmo that posted few weeks ago about his problem with his clutch on his Kirkham.

I've got a Unique Motorcars with a 427FE Top Oiler and a 4x spd toploader gearbox.

Currently I've got a steel Flywheel and a clutch kit that needs to be changed.

Desmo proposed to me his McLeod dual disk clutch kit + Aluminium Flywheel ==> see first picture.

This kit seems to be Ok for me but I would need to replace the disks (my input shaft is 1-1/16 whereas Desmo's kit is 1-3/16).

When comparing the weight of my old kit and the Desmo's kit the difference is only 24,7 Oz.

What I'd like to do is to use the Desmo's aluminium flywheel (if possible his pressure plate) and buy a new SINGLE disk that will fit on the McLeod flywheel and the pressure plate in order to reduce as much as I can the global weight.

Here are some pictures of the flywheel and the pressure plate including measurements.

Thanks for your help - I need to order parts required as soon as possible.
