One suggestion would be to send your flywheel to an outfit like 10K RPM and
have them fit one of their clutches. They use a flat steel plate that fits
against the aluminum flywheel. I believe if you sent your current flywheel
and clutch set up they could install one of their competition clutches for
your configuration.
Good luck,
Phil

Subject: metal coating on aluminum pressure plate
Hi,
I have an original F & S 1972 pressure plate which is all aluminum.
After 1973 Porsche started to make everything more cheaply and things
like this pressure plate disapeared. They are no longer available.
The contact area is thick aluminum with a thin steel (iron?) coating
which has worn and cracked a bit.
Does anyone know of a source for re-coating the contact area with steel?
I think it is called metal spraying? If they could do it in 1972 I would
think
it could be done better today.
