Pretty good deal I reckon, would be able to flog the complete EA 5 speed conversion for 500.

No you need the EA clutch.
Ring "Clutch Industries", for a supplier, they do a good price. http://www.clutchindustries.com.au/contact.htm |

Thanks guys
Is there anything else i will need to do the conversion?? so far i will have the mal wood pin, a new clutch and the whole EA. Is there any other bits i need that are different between the two models or anything i will need to modify?? I will be following Voxace's conversion guide and dont really no what im doing when it comes to bits n peices behind the engine. 
Thanks for all the help guys. CHEERS

You will also need a NEW spigot bearing, which you tap into the back of the crank. About $15 from most auto stores. The rest of the bits you can just pinch off the EA.
