[Healeys] 5 speed conversion

[Charlie Baldwin]

Recently I purchased the 5 speed conversion kit from Pete Delaney who 
bought out Smitty.
He supplies a clutch disc that is sized for a BJ8 diaphram clutch which 
is smaller than my BT7 clutch.  So much smaller that I will have 69% of 
the original clutch's friction surface on each side of the disc.  I have 
discussed it with him and he says that no one has had a problem with 
that and he recommends using a BJ8 pressure plate and flywheel.  I am 
not willing to cast aside a flywheel that I spent money to have 
resurfaced and lightened and a pressure plate installed less than 1,000 
miles ago.  Already I won't be using the current clutch disc and 
throwout bearing with that same mileage (besides all of the cost of the 
Toyota transmission, 5 speed kit, etc.).
Some of you have mentioned previously about getting a custom disc made, 
which seems to be a good approach to me.
Does anyone have a name and contact info for people who do this sort of 
thing on a one off basis and don't charge an arm and a leg?
Thanks.
