Gee, I always thought that a small diameter multiplate clutch only became
available in the last 15 years or so . To my way of thinking that makes it
fit the perfect description of a "non-vintage" modification akin to roller
rocker arms or a belt drive conversion on a BMC "A' series engine. If I
remember correctly, the SCCA rules thoughout the 60s and 70s required the
use of a clutch of standard diameter and type of construction in all
production cars.

Apparently Mr. Solow, you would prefer that your "original" leg and foot be
torn off by your "original' type clutch. While you're at it, why not have
Rupert mil-spec lap belts from WWII and borax soaked cotton coveralls?
