Clutch disk replacement advice

[Seb_]

Sad news I was announced today: I got to change the clutch disk. Nearest garage is asking me... 800euros.
Yes 800.
So I decided I will give the job to a friend. Wich model do you recommend me ?

Is this model and brand any good?

800 euro,s seb your garages know how to charge eh
and yes the pre 98 1.0 uses that 160mm plate (Y)
and get that flywheel machined down to 4kg while the g/box is off

Thanks for the confirmation Frank, I knew you would answer
So if I'm right, basically "machining flywheel" means "drilling clutch disk to lose weight (thanks google) is there a special holes layout to respect Frank?

you dont need to drill it to get to 4kg seb, just lathe the back off to make it thinner (CGA and my lightest one in pic)

Manny: 700£ !
I've just read a topic on the replacement, it seems quite hard to do... The author said they were two and they spent 9h on it. I do now begin to understand why the garage is asking 800euros to do it; lot of time labour, plus the work will be guaranteed and professed.
