[Fot] Light pressure plates?

[Tony Drews]

Thanks!

I'm specifically looking at this:
http://clutchnet.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=8176&Itemid=140

Anyone used these?  I just happened on to this site because the 
clutch disk a list member nicely sent me for a reasonable price is 
from this company and those pressure plates in the picture sure LOOK 
lighter than the behemoth I'm running.

Cheer, Tony Drews
