Also I am in the process of doing the engineering to install a W58 with the Lotus bellhousing. I am sticking with the original Jensen-Healey clutch cable. I am working on making the the original JH clutch fork work with the Lotus Excel bellhousing. I am using the clutch pressure plate and disk from a 1984 Toyota Celica with the original JH flywheel. It is a 8 7/8 inch clutch instead of a 8.5 inch. I am having the JH flywheel redrilled to accept the Toyota pressure plate.
I still have to work out what to do about the throwout bearing mating with the Toyota input shaft sleeve. I.E. the piece that the throwout bearing slides back and forth on. The Toyota one is slightly smaller diameter than the JH one so the JH throwout bearing sleeve fits rather loose on the Toyota T/O sleeve.
