I once read somewhee that you could use a 215 mm Sachs clutch. They made 'em for both VWs and Porsches I think.

the -6 and -4 clutches will both work.
like so many of the porsche parts, the details differ. the -6 clutch has 6 springs that are supposed to help smooth out chatter and uptake. the -4 clutch only has 4 springs and reportedly a less smooth uptake. pelican sells both your mileage may vary brant |

They're $65.00 at Pelican Parts. That's a pretty cheap clutch. It is the same as a '74 & up bus clutch, same money too.
