Thank you SRDT i've been looking for those measurements and this file will help, i've bought a non working gearbox for a diesel and disassembly it to use for the flange to the engine and the crank position sensor, if i can found a way to cut them both straight and weld them in parallel, anyway i spend my day telephoning around and going store to store to found a clutch disc that would work, found a similar size one, 2mm to big, then a contact came through about a tuning store in skopje they made a costume clutch kit for a customer how did not purchase it, so i went there with the old pressure plate and a disc with the right spline and it was a perfect match, they told me thet it was for some bmw e30 conversion, the disc supposedly has dual spring against factory singles, the friction material is a better compound for more grip, and longer life and is the right size, because i did not need the complete kit just the disc and they been sitting on it for years gave me a better deal than factory replacement, not sure what to thing about ther are no manufacturing marks and names, only my right foot punishment will tell the truth.

My garage is still occupied, and to give myself a head start i want to start modifying the gearbox housing, i have a spare engine block from a diesel, same as the mi16, but i do not have a mi16 flywheel, and do not know if the diesel and mi16 flywheels are the same height, because the diesel do not have the crank sensor ring, i need couple of measurements if anyone has a mi16 out, distance from flywheel face to blok face where gearbox bolts on, distance from pressure plate fingers to blok face where gearbox bolts on.

After a frustrating day of been lied from form couple of heating specialist, decided to get back on the project, got under the car to take couple of measurements and found this extra engine support, so could not take no measurement, and by looking at the subframe seams to be lower then the FWD (front wheel drive) subframe, so i got a FWD subframe in good condition, little oily but no rust never been damaged, will see and use which will be easier to modify and fit better, more to come tomorrow.
