Clutch advice/dilemma

[Finto_GX]

Hi guys ,
Have a 1.3 engine built , should be pushing roughly 120-130hp maybe bit more hopefully NA.
Will be getting Ikengineering to lightened flywheel to 2.75kg

I currently have two LUK clutch’s 160mm & 180mm. I currently have the 160mm cushplate sitting in the 180 friction plate . Just needing to bolt up .

-Has anyone ran this type of clutch before with big power?

-Will a standard 1.0 clutch be up to job ?

-would I be best off ordering 1 litre performcance clutch off eBay which can take 35% above factory rating ?

Finally has anyone any ideas how to drill the rivets on the Cush plate to keep the spacers .think they’re hardened steel . Drill bits keep burning out

Thanks

Clutch advise please

Some of you may know I'm building a high comp engine but keeping the 1l gearbox. I've read around and people say the 1l clutch starts to slip around 100bhp+. I'm hoping to get over that figure so what can I do about the clutch because that seems like the weak link atm. Are there any upgrades for...

Thank you, can you remember what size nuts and bolts you used and what nuts you used as a spacer
