Volvo clutch for alpine clutch setup

Back in the early 2000's the hot setup for modified alpines was a volvo clutch... If i remember it went along the lines of a early series flywheel, MGB pressure plate and throwout bearing and a volvo 144 clutch...

Anyone still have the details?

The MGB cover will fit the SIII/SIV diaphragm style clutch and relevant flywheel.
The SI/SII flywheel and cover will accept the larger diameter 8.5 inch volvo disc without going to the MGB cover.

My current set up is:

Holbay flywheel (same as SI/II I think)

MGB pressure plate

Early Volvo 8.5" disc (with coarse splines to suit SIV box)

Holbay carbon throw-out bearing (same as SI/II I think)

SI/II clutch fork
