I have a stock 13b ( estimated 150 h= p) with RWS equipment. I used a racing aluminum flywheel and removed the st= eel clutch facing. Then I resized the RWS splined hub to fit. Basically I c= opied RWS by making a new plate and riveting on the RWS splined hub to my n= ew plate. Because the new plate is a smaller OD I used 6 bolts instead of 4= . I used the same durometer rubber cushions.
