there is.

G Series clutches:

BG GTX - 235mm clutch plate
BG Astina SP (3/1991-1994) - 215mm clutch plate
BA Astina 1.8 (7/1994-8/1995) 225mm clutch plate
BA Astina V6 (7/1994-1998) 225mm clutch plate

so in the end it's the GTX that is best as it has a bigger contact/surface area.

Hang on, doesn't a larger surface area on a clutch mean less bite? Hence why puck/button clutches bit like all hell. Unless a smaller or equal surface area further away from the centre is better???

Well my car is now 99% converted to a BPT

All thats missing is the seals for the CV joint boots and a few butterfly clips that were lost here and there along the way.

Should be able to take it for (an exhaustless ) test drive tommrow.

If your talking about the standard one, it bolts to the passenger side chasis rail. Even self tappers do the job of holding the braket in place to which the I/C mounts on.

However the last one I did, I had to modify the air duct for the I/C to allow it to fit better.
