Can you replace a clutch disc with a different brand, where can I get a Mcleod disc?
Two questions.
1. Can you replace a clutch disc with a different brand without changing pressure plate.
2. I currently have a Mcleod single disc that I beleive is a organic/kevlar combo and I'm looking at it thinking it's time to replace it while I have the trans out. So where can I buy just a Mcleod clutch disc? I checked some of the sponsors with no luck. The only place I found was Summit, and they only have the organic disc.
Thanks.

A quick update.
I measured the thickness of the clutch disc, and I have 0.045" of material till I hit rivets. I'm not sure how much is there stock, does anyone know?
Also I took some weight measurements as well.
Mcleod flywheel = 28.8lbs
Mcleod clutch disc + pressure plate = 23.4 lbs.
Total = 52.2 lbs.
I weighed my new Fidanza flywheel, 12.4 lbs. So I'm dropping 16.4lbs of rotational weight which is incredable.
