To fit a clutch - if the person knows what they are doing...three hours.

AP clutch is good - have on in my car - however after 20k of mileage it is starting to suffer from judder.

There is an alternative with a much higher clamping pressure - not sure who makes it - but the price is competitive...

...you need to email Mark at m@rk-a.com.

I will be using it when I need one

It is worth lightening the flywheel, but make sure that whoever fits a new clutch for you, DOESN'T, unless you have the flywheel skimmed first.
