John V, you have me confused a bit. Are you suggesting to OP that he get a clutch for a Saab? Please let us know a bit more.

> Coon: Yes, he is. Saab clutch with new dowel pin locations drilled,pressed... You get larger clutch than the stock 8.5" dia one, and that still fits flat flywheel.

> And there is another option that was recommended to me from Towery, as I will soon be +Ting, and I have a flat flywheel modded for lh2.4:

"I'm running a 8.5" clutchnet red single diaphragm plate that's got really light pedal effort and mine's not slipping even at 18+psi. the disc is some hybrid thing with organic on one side and pucks on the other. try what you have and see if it holds. if not, then upgrade."

What's confusing?
I've swapped pressure plates around for DECADES!!!

In fact my favorite pressure plate that I have used many times especially on poxy Japonaise cars with their little junky toy clutchs was......

WAS,...........................

WAS!!!!!!

Sachs 215mm for B21T!! No1 favorite. (Because, aside from hi-po V4 Ford used in Saabs, I built mainly normal aspirated rally motors for guys Nissans, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Ford, Opel. And the TORQUE capacity of the B21T p.p. was perfect for the motors around 2,0 to 2,4 n.a. with high 10s to mid 11s in comp.
It was "the thing" to use on Opels in the 80s to early 90s in Swedish rally world----until Volvo became the dominant and most popular car.....I saw it working there, used it here.

That p.n. for the B21T has been "revised" so that now Volvo B21T pp is the same p.n. as Saab 2,0 turbo....I've used those without thinking for years when I was compelled by hunger or greed to work on 900s, never gave them a thought.


Now i knew the bolt circle for the Saab 215mm and Volvo 215mmm was the same as Saab 200mm and I now recall that I had previously known that the bolt circle for the early Saab 9000 228mm was, too, but I never laid finger to a single 9000 so I forgot that for a while.


So is it all clear now?

The nice thing about euro things is there is frequently the ability to interchange things because of the role of the HUGE suppliers.
Bosch is the biggest supplier in the world
SACHS has an overwhelmingly huge role in the OEM world


So.....EARLY Saab 9000 turbo 228mm pp arrived instead of the later 240mm Saab 9000, I had one of my beautiful steel flywheels done with 2 pp bolt circles so I laid it on and OH! whaddya know?
