[Roadsters] L (?) series clutch on U20?

[Daryl Smith]

Funny, I was just up at Garth's place where he was trying to get his clutch/flywheel balanced. They turned him away because the new roadster clutch didn't match the flywheel which was taken off his car.  

The old pressure plate bolted on right at the edge of the flywheel (10 5/8" bolt centres), clutch is 8 7/8" (225 mm) diameter.
Googled the part #s and it turns out it is for the L20B, Z20, L20ET, or the SD20 diesel.

Very heavy duty compared to the roadster clutch. 

Was this an old racer trick? Would be kind of heavy, but it sure wouldn't slip.....

Or just someone making something fit just because they thought it was better? 

'Course Garth now has to find a replacement for the flywheel to keep everything 'Roadster'.........
