Great post DD. As I remember it, you have to use a Mercury clutch disc to match the splines on the transmission (1 3/8" vs 1" on an 8BA?) and an appropriate pressure plate (either a Mercury with a re-drilled flywheel or something else that matches up?).

It's been 30 years since I did this, but with the proper parts from your FLAPS, it all goes together easily.
