Went for the helix organic and uprated pressure plate... Suppose to be good for 350 bhp its better than standard so it should hold without a problem. I just will have to have a little more machanical sympathy if im giving it some so it lasts longer lol

What do you mean by master cylinder? didn't think we needed to replace it?
Just the clutch, pressure plate and release bearing???

its best to change the master cylinder too especially if you've done some mileage... Don't want to get clutch in then have to change this later as its 300 quid labour...

How much do they cost?
How much is the clutch and cover plate from Chris Astley?
the flywheel on their website says its for O.E clutchs

Yeah thats what you want as the helix clutch fits standard flywheels.... The clamping force increases due to the pressure plate thickness and spring rates.

About 90 quid for the master cylinder I think......
