Sound logic and a good price to boot. The MG is a lot lighter than the Focus. About two thirds the weight. I am running ~Suzuki itb's which
might give it 190bhp at a push.
Thanks again.

Yeh but only around 150ft/lb torque.
They slip on a turbo Zetec putting out 220~250ft/lb +

I think I will be ok. Not much of a tyre fryer. I’m not blowing the engine or anything like that.

The 220mm is not the clutch diameter but the flywheel diameter. Forget I asked.

Your making hard work off this for your self.
The 220mm cover plate isn’t going to mount to a 240mm flywheel. Have a look at some on line photos and you will see why.

Hi. I realised as soon as i asked, hence my last comment. Im just want to be sure that what I fit will take the torque and hp. Im just learning what
is best, all be it slowly. I know 60's and 70's fords, not later. Thanks for helping.

Like I say there are plenty of zetecs on throttle bodies running a standard 1.8 flywheel and Oem clutch. You know have a 2.0 flywheel. Get a matching
clutch and you only have to play with the slave cylinder / clutch fork pivot a little.

Thanks. Removing the box on the MG is a real trial and best avoided.

Hi Wasa . Im so pleased to say that after a two week break, I have fitted the Cougar/Mondeo flywheel and clutch complete. It works very well. Its
highlighted a leaking master cylinder but that is a quick replacement. Thanks very much for your help!!!!
