That's correct.
Rallye used to market a two-piece plug kit but last I checked they didn't
carry it any more.
Tom Walter used to make a nice kit but he hasn't had time to churn any
out for quite some time.

The fan clutch created unnecessary cries of anguish from Roadster
owners when it failed and your engine fried itself. You do not want a
clutch. You want a 4-blade fan. Bet you have a 7-blader, don't you?
They really scream, don't they? (I have one at present, swapped on
when my flexfan exploded and chopped my fuel line while exiting the
freeway. But I digress).
The vendors carry new 4 bladers.
