I tried using stock style clutches and they would come-apart ended up using mcleod solid disc clutch( with no marcel(sp) but with a sprung hub with both a 3 finger and diaphragm pressure plate.

I should have stated this was in the late sixties and early seventies and didn't have access to info available to-day it was mostly word of mouth and national dragster
