This might be opening up a can of worms asking for opinions, but it seems there are 2 different clutch disc available for the 45. One being a fabric style and the other a 4-pad. The 4-pad seems like it may hold up to more power though.  The engine will have the 4-1/8 overbore sleeves and pistons so it may have a few more horses then when new.
Does anyone have experience with these in a 45?  Thanks

You will want the heavy duty style.
This is the style I prefer.
