That is....extremely inexpensive.

You also need a release bearing guide and high temperature urea grease.

I help someone with a need for a clutch and little funds. He bought an OEM FD and nothing else. We sanded the PP and FW and cleaned, lubed, and installed properly. That was years and many miles ago and he is still driving without problems.

Have you looked into the difference in cost for an OEM clutch?

It may be worth shopping a bit. Unless you're not paying for labour?

lol. its up to you, man. I assume you see the sillyness is not just either waiting til you can get another £200 or going a bit beyond now to prevent having to redo the install later.

Just buy a oem disc for $120 usd. Reuse your PP liked a few already mentioned and resurface your flywheel. Definitely buy a oem throwout bearing.

$120 disc
$50 resurface flywheel
$100ish oem throwout bearing

Should be somewhat worry free for someone under a tight budget.
