Re: Are the m20 flywheels all the same?

I was getting confused when you said about the cover plate as didn't know much about the fly wheel and clutch assembly . There's the thin plate behind the flywheel . The flywheel with the metal washer and bolts that go on . Then I've ordered a clutch kit that I assume bolts to the flywheel ?
