Since there is a lot more torque than the factory clutch can handle, I get the slightly larger flywheel from a four cylinder Metro and have it lightened and remove the starter ring. Then I get a higher performance clutch to bolt onto it.
It sounds like you have it fairly well sorted. Why do people seem to always overpower their conversions? EV West is getting pretty ridiculous. We can't all be the White Zombie.

I asked about the AC single-speed because I got the Lexus LX400h third member to put in a car that originally came with 36hp. It seems like a good match.
