Clutches had sprung hubs - not quite as refined, but lighter and more reliable.

If you fit a solid flywheel, make sure you fit a clutch that has a sprung hub. :y

And a spacer for the release bearing as the solid flywheel is a lot thinner than the DMF.

you only need spacer if you use C20xe or c20let flywheel,
vectra v6 fly wheel its same size as omega
