What are your thoughts among those of you have done this swap in your Cobra cars?
Any thoughts, part numbers and sources would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Basically, it all depends on the clutch disc material. If it's an organic or similar, then a bushing will work fine. If it's highly aggressive, like sintered iron, etc., then you need a bearing. The dust from the aggressive discs can get into a bushing and cause wear.
